LOVE NEVER FAILS
Fathers love letter is a favorite little tract of mine. I purchase it to give to others to tell them or remind them of God’s great love and to read myself.
As I enjoy this journey of life, I’ve met talked to many people, listened to their stories about their relationships.
Loving relationships takes diligent work on yourself!
It’s great how people have a desire to get a drivers license to drive a car! Material is given to them to learn and memorize hoping it will be put to use in the future. They diligently study because it’s something they really want to obtain. Over and over again in their minds, they rehearse the questions and answers, some don’t have to put forth so much effort they quickly remember but are committed to their goal. The license is obtained and many enjoy years of driving privileges. But to those who fail to remember and apply what they learned often find themselves denied the privileges of driving or if obtained not able to enjoy lasting privileges because of lack of continued application to what they learned. Some having to prove themselves again to be worthy may obtain driving privileges after paying fines, and time not driving, regreting their lack of application of what they should have done according to driving laws. Some unfortunately never obtain that privilege of driving ever again.
Loving relationships and marriage are also such great desires like obtaining a licence you want it to be lastinng. loving relationships are sought after but not with the necessary study put in ahead of time or learning how to really love. Many feel they know everything they need to know! Often when faced with problems still, diligent study and application of help for improvement or success are ignored. Like licensing, someone refusing to learning proven instructions necessary, to obtain and maintaina driving priledges would be considered foolish!
The ignored study, application to proven relationship strengthening and building principles put into long-time practice, spells disaster which is sure to follow!
There are so many books out there, videos, counselors, etc. to help relationships.
The greatest HELP is God’s word.
In the Bible, is the best story, the blame game, fault finding that started back in the garden of Eden. Two people created who ignored the Love of God within them began seeking out their own pleasure really not concerned how it would effect their relaionship. To them, His love and wisdom was not thought to be the best for them. After their refusal to trust His love began to find themselves fearful, regretful, and ashamed in the choices they had made.. Feelings they never experienced before, which unknown to them, many new thoughts and feelings would emerge. Now it would take His love within to be applied to survive and conquer life ahead in their journey together.
Being married and angry with my husband years back about something, I felt he knew and did to intentionally hurt me, I entertained negative thoughts concerning him. The thoughts kept coming and I agreed with them, formulating what I would say, what I would do, what would be his reply and how I would react . I felt I was right, he was wrong! I would tell him and make him feel bad I hoped to make him apologize and then maybe I would decide to accept it or not! Or if he didnt apologize I woudnt speak to him and ignore him. Oh how foolish d imagine if God treated us like that we may not do anything right for days! But His love for us never fails. God doesn't get attitudes with us!
After awhile God spoke to my heart, I felt justified enjoying my thoughts, God said to me, " I will never fill your mind wth negative thoughts about your husband and justifying you towards ill feelings towards him, and how to carry out acts of revenge ".
You will begin to see one another in a new light through God’s eyes and enjoy your journey of life together.
