It is much easier to profess love than to abide by what love really means.
"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.
Love never fails regardless of what happens, regardless of the challenges faced between couples, between families, love never fails.
The secret of growing in love is by exercising patience with one another. "love does not dishonor, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered and most importantly, love keeps no record of wrong."
Saying things like "last month my wife wronged me or yesterday my husband failed to take out the trash" are not acceptable statements in any relationship where love abides, because every offence or wrong committed is new. Besides, Jesus said we should forgive 70 x 70 in a day. meaning that by the next day, there is a new slate devoid of all records of wrong.
It is time to reevaluate your love. Instead of focusing on one offence or all the wrongs, focus on those beautiful moments shared- those movies you watched together, the long evening strolls, the laughter shared, those secrets and insecurities, those times you depended on each other... focus on what you love about your spouse rather than what you don't Lovet
"But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Everything will pass away but love will remain, everything will fade away but love will never fade away.
The success of any marriage is to love and forgive over and over again.
Happy Sunday
