When things are hard, lonely, unsettling there is a void, and emptiness that nothing seems to fill longterm. Oh, we try to fill it with all kinds of things and people and when that is not successful we just cover it up with a "poker face, or a happy face. We build a false image to protect our hurt and our hole. When all we need to do it go to Him and submit, ask for the wisdom to commit and keep our vows, right our wrongs, confess our sins. When we are separated from Him, we are disconnected from the flow, become dry and brittle and the hole widens sucking in everything and everyone around us. All relationships suffer when the love (caring, respect, kindness, gentleness) is abstructed. Our fists flail, our hearts harden and our doubled edged sword (tongue) lashes out and wounds.
Love is very simple and the hole can be filled.
The two ends can be securely fastened and "love can flow like a river"
Love is an unfinished Work
Our human emotions are simply amazing, the most powerful feeling we have is Love.
Where does it come from? How do we keep it free flowing like a dove?
God is Love, He loved (John 3:16) therefore we love, He commands us to Love
Love is a gift, given freely and joyfully Sometimes love is a curse and hurts
Love is easy to say, but can be costly is not easy to measure and goes in spurts
Love needs faith to grow, and flow easy Trust comes slowly and is easily broken
Honesty, Respect, Care and Understanding are outward expressions of love
When they are absent, so is love. Love is focused on the receipient at all time
Love is true, and perseveres Love is humble and diligent with to care
Love brought us to the cross, and sometimes brings us to our knees.
When we finally value the relationship more than ourselves, we freely give.
Regardless of what we get, our hearts are able to withstand when in His hand.
Love does not harm, will not quit, always does right, even when we forget to stand.
Love is not perfect but, neither are we, it can be when we live like He said.
When love goes wrong, it only takes a repentant heart to set it back straight.
You are never wrong if you honestly walk in faith, trust in another for this is Love
And were two or more are gathered in my name, I am there also, and give Hope.
We are encouraged that Christ started a work in us which He will continue! --until our death.
