Single and seeking to be married.Step 4
Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 10:50 pmToday was great! So far, we've talked about Love, Charity (which is unconditional love), and today, renewing your mind.
The whole point is to Forgive, Forget, and move on. Don't dwell on the past or the negative. All that is behind us now, so let's live, love, and be happy. If we truly haven't forgiven our significant other then there's no way that unconditional love will flow. I learned a little about forgiving in a previous study that helped me a lot. That was turning the situation around. If I had done something to one of my love ones I would want them to truly forgive me and not let my mistake affect our relationship. So in short, if you really truly love someone, you'll learn to forgive and forget. If the situation is still causing a hindrance to the relationship, we have to renew our minds. Of course that's not easy, but I'm pretty sure it'll be well worth it in the end. I think that I'm going to give renewing my mind a try; it has to be better than the current circumstance.
I said earlier that this study was geared for those that are married and having issues in their relationship. I have to take those words back. This study is helping me to prepare for my marriage when the time comes. I'm glad that I kept going with the study and didn't allow Satan to stop me.
I know that God is Love and He created marriage. So who better to ask about marriage than the Creator Himself? So, I thank Him for teaching me so that I won't start my marriage on a rocky foundation.
Well, I'm off to start the process of renewing the mind (gotta start somewhere).
As always, please pray for me as I continue to pray for you.
Hope to see you all in the forum tomorrow!
