- I’m sure many, if not all of the visitors to www.I-Love-You-Kenisha.com are wondering what possessed me to create and post this web site on the Internet. So, on this page I will give you the explanation to my motives for publishing this site.. There are basically 5 reasons for this web site. I will list them and explain them in an order that makes sense to my logic rather than order of importance or priority.
- Before I explain the purpose for this site, let me first tell you what it is not. This web site was designed and posted on the net for the reasons listed below. It was not put her for Kenisha to see or to manipulate her in any way. If God wants her to find this site and read it, that is up to God. But my heart for this site was strictly for the reasons listed below. I have written some of the pages as if I am speaking to Kenisha, just in case she does someday find it and read it and I ha
ve even put a password protected are on the site with clues that only she would know the answers to…again just in case she someday finds the site and reads it, but the site purpose is explained below.
- 1. To express my resolve to keep the vows and marriage covenant, and the love that I have for the most special and wonderful person on this earth…my sweet wife Kenisha. When I made my wedding vows to Kenisha on February 8th, 1986, I knew then and I know now, that in my heart I was making a lifetime COVENANT (not a contract) before the almighty God that I would love and remain faithful to this woman as long as we were both living. It did not matter then, and does not matter now what she does, where she goes, or whether or not we are separated, or even divorced. God has made Kenisha and I one flesh (Matthew 19:6 Therefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let not man separate.). The laws of this earth have no jurisdiction over what God has ordained. So a “legal divorce” does not make Kenisha and I no longer “one flesh”. Since I made a vow to Kenisha and a covenant with her before God to remain faithful to her as long as we are both living, I now have the privilege of living out that covenant and my vows in the face of pain and hardship. This is the agape way, and is “true love”. Love is not a feeling. It is a choice.
- 2. To provide accountability for myself. Standing for a marriage when you don’t know where your spouse is, what she is doing or if she will ever come home is difficult and painful. There are many temptations that are presented to a man in my situation. I have found that the best way to fight temptation is, first to pray and ask God to give me strength to resist the temptation, and to make a verbal declaration that I will not give in to the temptation, or to even allow those thoughts into my mind. Second, ask for accountability from others to hold me to what I know is right and what I have committed to do. In this situation, I am prepared to stay single for the rest of my life, if Kenisha never decides to come home to me. That’s a difficult and painful thing to even think about, and something that I know satan will try to cause me to fall in. With such a difficult set of unknowns and inevitable temptations in my future, I will again employ what I know to be the best method for winning such battles. First I have been and will continue to pray and draw close to the Lord Jesus Christ and dig into His word…the Holy Bible. And second, I will seek accountability…from those I know personally, and the general public around the world via this web site.
- 3. To encourage others to stand strong for their marriages, even when it looks impossible…for with God ALL things ARE POSSIBLE! The Bible makes it very clear what God’s heart and will is for marriages…it’s first that they stay together, and if they do separate, His heart and will is for restoration. For the Lord God of Israel says that He hates divorce. Malachi 2:16. Also see Matthew 19:6, Mark 10:9. The Bible is full of scriptures that show that God hates divorce and that marriage is a lifetime covenant and that He always wants restoration. So if you are in a similar situation in your marriage…trust God and STAND for your marriage, no matter how long it takes! God will sustain you!
- 4. To share the love of Jesus with others and to be the best example that I can of what true love (the love of Jesus) is really like. My hope and prayer is that this web site will motivate you to seek Jesus Christ with all your heart, and to develop a personal relationship with Him. God designed marriage to be a picture of the relationship between Christ and the church. Because we live in a sinful and evil world, this picture is being distorted, at the least and in many cases including separation and divorce, the picture is being completely destroyed…or is it? You see the Bible says in Romans 5:8, that “while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” In Ephesians 5:25 it says “husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it.” This is an unconditional love that lasts forever. So, those of us that are separated or divorced have a perfect opportunity to express and demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ to our spouses and tell others of the great love that Jesus Christ has for them! If you don’t know Jesus or the love that He has for you and would like to have a personal relationship with Him, feel free to contact me or go to www.NeedHim.org.
- 5. And last but not least, this is just who I am! I'm a "hopeless...uh...I mean, hopeful romantic!" Some people journal...I build web sites! When my daughter Najiya was born, I built a web site. Before web sites, when important events happened in our lives, like anniversaries...I put messages on gas station reader board signs along I5, etc. When I have things on my heart that are important and meaningful to me, I want the world to know about it! In this case, I love Jesus, and I love my dear, sweet wife Kenisha...and I want the world to know it!
