The Strongest Link

A year ago today my wife and I stood in the courtyard of Notre Dame in Paris, France to renew our covenant vows. The amazing thing about covenant in the Kingdom is that the strength of it is reliant upon its strongest partner. God has established a covenant with us that He refuses to allow to be broken. That's why it's called everlasting. The Bible is not a prenuptial agreement where the odds aren't in your favor. It's a certificate of covenant marriage where the stronger party seals the agreement with enough blood to cover both parties. What if everyone viewed their own marriage, not as strong as it's weakest link, but rather as strong as the sacrifice of its most relentless lover? All it takes to save a marriage and strengthen a covenant is a revelation of Love's Grace. It is the power by which covenant becomes unbreakable. On this day we reminded each other that we did and do, both then and now, say yes to the covenant that we entered into more then half a lifetime ago. Traci, thank you for your relentless everlasting love. I love you, my bride.
