God wants your marriage to thrive. Peter kindly shares a few simple guidelines for how you can tap into the beauty God intended for you within your marriage.  In fact, there is beauty to be found in all of our human relationships ... My Next Step(s): - I will not judge others, but instead seek to understand their perspective. - I will do my best to respond in grace rather than retaliation. - I will hold my tongue instead of responding in anger. - I will submit to my spouse, out of reverence for Christ. - I will strive for inner beauty, rather than outward appearances.

Where do you belong? One of the greatest gifts we have in Christ is our promise of a home in Heaven. Until then, our home is found in the Church! My Next Step(s): - I won’t try to “Grow it alone.” I’ll get connected to a group to study God’s Word. - I will seek to be used for God for a greater purpose than I can do on my own. - I will give God a “stone cold dead” thing in my life, and allow Him to bring it to life. - I will rid my life of all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander of every kind. - I will welcome everyone I can into the family of God - His Church.

Trials will surely come for us, but take heart. There is victory to be shared! Are you familiar with suffering or difficult days? Peter encourages us to take hold of the hope and power we have because of Jesus. Keep going … Dawn is coming! My Next Step(s): - I will “name my pain” (but keep it in perspective, considering eternity’s glory.) - I will “walk” with Jesus during my trials. I am not alone. - I will “act as though” God’s plan is perfectly unfolding in my life, and praise Him. - I will “take up the slack” on the anchor of my soul to heaven, but serve God now.
