The other day there was an issue that came up and for some reason I remembered this famous mother goose poem.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
As a man we bear the responsibility to make our wives feel that we are their security. Security and trust in a relationship is the glue that holds everything together.
What happens when we fail and fall?
As men we try not to hurt or spouses by saying little lies that we believe will have no consequences but that is so far from the truth.
Our words have repercussion and just like the little rhyme says they couldn’t put humpty back together again. I know what you’re thinking it’s a little extreme but understand once that trust is shattered you might put it back together but it will never be the same as brand new.
So I challenge you to be mindful of your answers. A simple lie can steal the security of your wife.
Many long marriages have cracks but they continue in perfect imperfection because there is a belief that together they can handle what ever the issue is. It’s in the cracks that we can look back and admire the marriages that have weathered the storms.
My brothers in Christ renew your mind everyday and cherish what God has given to you especially your wives.
Humpty couldn’t be put back together by all the king’s men but we know it’s the King of Kings that we serve and no matter how broken we are HE can put it back together for his purpose again.
Peace
“This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
Romans 3:22-23 NIV
