Beauty - Dag Heward-Mills

God is very concerned about whom you marry. I’m not only referring to your marital happiness, but also to how your partner will influence you in the future.

You see, life is very long and marriage is a very long road. There are many years ahead of the bride and groom after they say, “I do.”Many things are going to happen and much “water is going to pass under the bridge”. Will your marriage make you or break you?.

When God was instructing the Israelites, He was very concerned about whom they would marry, because He did not want anyone to turn their hearts away from Him.

God has not made you a disappointment or a disaster. He does not make such things.

If you are short, being short is beautiful. If you are black, being black is beautiful, and if you are white, being white is equally beautiful.

Beauty has a point at which it blossoms like a beautiful flower. Most plants have a flowering stage. And the plant which flowers is the one that is attractive to both insects and humans.

The same can be said about a woman. There is that age in a woman’s life we call the flower of her age, or the flower of her beauty. That is when you are most noticeable. That is when you are most beautiful, and when men propose to you.

Outward beauty depends on the inward beauty. If you are beautiful inside it shows on the outside.

When you have to make a choice, it may look as though the person’s beauty is more important, but when you enter into marriage, you will come to see that beauty is always secondary to godliness.

The spiritual person who knows and fears God will become more and more attractive to you as the years go by.

Beauty has very little to offer, apart from what you see. But the spiritual person has her faithfulness, her character, and godliness to offer to you.

As a man, beauty may be a factor for your relationship and marriage, but first consider the inner beauty before you step in. Marry not someone recommended to you, but someone you want to marry.

Abigailism

Abigailism - Dag-Heward Mills

Abigail was a beautiful woman who was known for her role in curbing her husband’s foolishness. Abigailism is the art of practising what Abigail did in order to prevent tragedy from coming to the family.

Abigail’s husband was a man called Nabal. Nabal comes from the Hebrew word “qasheh”, which means “foolishness or churlishness.”. It is translated into different words in different parts of the Bible. Some of these are: roughly, hard, cruel, stiff-necked, stubborn, grievous, obstinate, trouble, hardhearted and impudent.

Many married women have husbands who fit this description. A woman with direction must use wisdom to co-exist peacefully. She must use the art of Abigailism to have a successful marriage and combine it with a good relationship with God.

Abigailism has six goals. A woman without Abigailism usually achieves one or two of these goals. When you develop the art of Abigailism you will be able to achieve all six goals simultaneously.

As a married woman have you ever tried

To prevent your husband from doing wrong or committing sin.
To prevent your entire family from being destroyed.
To preserve your marriage.
To preserve your relationship with God and the church.
To preserve your ministry.
To prevent a confrontation between your husband and the church.

Many people practice what we call denial. They pretend that the problem is not there. They say that black is white and white is black. Daughter, pretending that a problem is not there does not make it go away. Calling a white thing black does not make it black.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

There are many women who want to hide their problems. They feel that they are disgracing their husbands. There is a fine balance between denigrating your marriage, humiliating your husband and talking frankly about a problem that exists. To denigrate your husband means to blacken his reputation. This is wrong and a woman with direction does not do that!
All, these answers and many more are available for your grasp now.
