Strange ...
Praying for LOVE to overcome.
Luv all of ya
This is so sad. My family has gotten closer. It makes me wonder what makes the difference. Of coarse the answer is God. But others are Christians and not making it.
I think the love chapter of the bible. 1 Corinthians 13:4
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails.
We're committed to love. We promise God we will love. Without these verses teaching us what love is we would of struggled horribly. I'm not saying life is a piece of cake. It's not. We have had our fights and frustrations. We've even wondered a time or two if we make the right choice by getting married.
I can answer, through God, it's a strong yes. With out God it would be iffy at best
Gods given us a love for each other that expands past sickness and health, debt and wealth, bad times and good times.
Because HE is love and He loves when we can step outside our flesh and love others. Maybe I can say especially spouses.
Good topic.
