READ : Ecclesiastes 9:9
“Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.” – Song of Solomon 4:7
You need to realize that beauty comes in portions. Everyone has a portion, but nobody has it all. Your portion is what you are entitled to. Your portion will include some things, while excluding others. You cannot have a black and a white wife in one person.
Your wife may be an excellent cook, but she could have problems with being a hostess when your friends visit. That is your portion, and God expects you to be content with her.
You may know a friend’s wife who is very good when they have visitors. You may admire the way she receives, chats and talks with the guests. You may appreciate her confidence and range of knowledge on political issues. But you may find that she is not able to cook very well. Her stews may be like soups, and her soups like stews!
God expects you to be content with your wife, including her weaker points. Be content!
No matter how hard you look, you will find out that your portion has its strong points and its weak points.
Now the Bible encourages you to enjoy life with your portion. You can’t have it all. So accept your portion and enjoy it because that is the way God intended it to be.
