I was reflecting over the past few weeks of how often daily I hear the word Love used in a sentence, a song, or in general conversation between people. Then it hit me, have you ever just sit back and wondered just how powerful the word Love is and when used the impact it can have on others especially concerning the area of our marriages and spouses?
When I think or hear the word Love my mind always go back to the scripture in the bible Corinthians 1:13 that says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . . And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. In marriage how often do we find ourselves truly displaying the true characteristics of love?? When was the last time that you can recall during an argument you had an opportunity to be very angry but chose love over being right or let’s say your spouse did something wrong and instead of putting the action in your back pocket to eventually use as ammunition your chose to let it go and not to bring it back up again. I am sure if we were truly honest with ourselves it has been a while because the hustle and bustle of life and honestly technology has made us forget of how to communicate with and love others especially those closest to us. I want to challenge all couples to make this the month of putting the word love to action! Make sure you spend this time and month to truly practicing what Corinthians 1:13 says. What better example than the word of God, the true love story, to mirror our marriages after and be a light to those who have lost hope. Be Blessed!!
