I was watching Daystar this am (Just happened to turn on the tv and there it was) and Kerry Shook was on talking about Love/Marriage. Some things that really stood out that he said are the following: Love is NOT a feeling it's a CHOICE. When we first meet our mate we are "attracted " to them .attraction will change and feelings will change due to us being imperfected..we all fall short..but Love is given to us by God ..it's unconditional, it's giving 100 percent to our spouse, an all out TOTAL commitment..not taking each other for granted..
Think about it ..all of the awards/achievements in life will not matter in the end..it's about the relationships we have with our family. This world forces on us to think about material things and to always strive at work , bring home lots of money..If we have an eternal perspective we will not be able to take our possessions with us. In 1Cor 13 it states love never fails,..without love you are simply a Gong clanging.
Most people nowadays are so quick to divorce just because they have "fallen out of love"..they don't even want to try or work at it..it's so important to communicate/go on dates/spend time with our spouse..We should be putting God first, spouse second, children third, job fourth..etc.
Stop right now and think of what's important to you..
God chose to LOVE us, he never said I will love you if you get that job promotion, if you do this..he just said I love you. He made a "commitment" by sending his only son so that we can have eternal life! That's the greatest kind of love.
who or what do you love?
