Hello my friend,

 

This past Sunday, Sam and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a renewing of our wedding vows in our church surrounded by family and friends. The actual date of our marriage is August 6th, but our pastor was in Peru that weekend so we opted we postpone our "moment" until he was available to perform the ceremony. 

By today's standards, 25 years is a huge milestone in marriage. It wasn't too long ago that couples around the globe were celebrating 25, 50, and for some, 75 years of marriage... to the same person! Why have we as a society, both Christian and non-believers, bought into what seems to be a swinging-door of marriage mindset? "If I'm not happy I'm out of here."

Could it be our definition of LOVE?

How would you sum up the word LOVE? Did your mind go to the 1 Corinthians 13:4 "Love is patient..." scripture verse? I usually do too. But this week, I was led to Colossians 3:12-14.

     Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. forgive as the Lord forgave you. and over all these virtues put on LOVE, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 

 
LOVE is a virtue, a desirable quality in any and every relationship. Do you consider LOVE a virtue in your marriage... in your parenting... what about in your workplace?

 

This verse in Colossians gives us an outline to accomplish this type of relationship in every area of our lives:

1 - Recognize yourself as "a holy and dearly loved child of God." God has chosen YOU! 

2 - Remind yourself to have compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience with others. In EVERYTHING!

3 - Release the binds of un-forgiveness... put on LOVE!

 

You may say, "Linda you don't understand, my situation is different, it's complicated and if you knew the circumstances you wouldn't be asking me to do these things." You're right, maybe I would change my mind, but... God hasn't. These are His words, not mine. and He knows you better than anyone else... pray about what He is asking you to do, ask a friend to come alongside you in prayer then listen for His voice. He is faithful to speak when His children are listening.

................................................

This week on the Live Powerfully Now Network,

Milan & Kay Yerkovich join me on

Not Just Talkin' The Talk

to discuss How We Love Our Kids and on

Your Morning H.U.G. I will share an encouraging word about Devoting Ourselves to Prayer from Colossians 4.

....................................................

Praise You Lord for You alone are worthy to be praised. Precious Father, I ask for Your hand of blessing to touch the life of my friend today. I pray for Your mercy and grace to abound in Your child's actions, thoughts and pursuits this day. Guide us with Your presence to keep our thoughts pure and focused on You O Mighty God. We desire to do Your will, help us this day to see You at work in our lives and give us the power to step out boldly in LOVE in every aspect of our daily lives. We ask these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ... amen.

 

Hugs... Linda
