“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).

The only power that Satan has over us is the power of the lie. Many Christians have believed those lies that are destroying Christian marriages and families.

One of those subtle lies is that “It is my responsibility to change my mate.” We have this wrong idea that God has given us this mission in life to change our spouse – to transform them into the man or woman we want them to be so that they can meet all of our needs and we can live happily ever after. That’s a fairy tale.

The truth is that God wants to use your spouse to change you. We are all in process. We are all in different stages of character development – that’s why we need to be kind and patient with one another.

God is in the process of developing the character of Christ in your life. And that’s why He has put you in the family you are in. That’s why He gave you the spouse and children that you have – with all their idiosyncrasies, faults, and personality quirks. God is using them to help build in you the character of Christ. He wants to teach you the Christ-like qualities of forgiveness and meekness and humility and gratefulness.

Your reactions to difficult circumstances are an eloquent indication of the type of person you really are.
