A Woman and Her Man

As women, we are seed prepared by God awaiting our appointed time to be deposited in good fertile soil, the soil being a man's life. The quality and timing of our growth is dependent on the condition of the soil in which we are planted. If the soil is defected and tainted, the seed will not produce though it in itself is designed to bring forth. Both the state of the soil and the correct processing and packaging (meaning covering) of the seed are vitally important if a harvest is expected to come forth. When good seed is deposited in good soil and the seed is nurtured, a beautiful harvest is an inevitable result.

This is the house that love built

A relationship is built on three components: a standard, grace, and forgiveness, all of which hinge on love. A relationship must have a standard to foster integrity, strengthen character, and promote trust. Grace is for balance. It creates mutual respect, acceptance, and it serves as an avenue that ushers in love. Forgiveness cultivates an environment of peace, freedom, intimacy, self-worth, and self-awareness and it opens up a realm where the love of God is continuously made manifest. 

Without a standard there is no grace and without grace there is no forgiveness. A standard requires grace and grace allows forgiveness.
