Thoes who thirst after Him shall be filled, Amen
That empty space in you cannot be filled with anything ‘clinical’, we search for love (small “L”) in others. Fulfillment in career. Satisfaction in career, fullness in travel, we have interests, activities that temporarily give us a high.
What do we look for??? And why? We were all born with a need for passion!
Some find it in sports: jumping out of planes, flying planes, jets, climbing mountains, sprinting, lifting weights, aerobics, even video games. I have to say HALLELUJAH! We were all born with a need, a hunger… Even those who find comfort in being ‘withdrawn’ and enjoy ‘singleness’; we were all created for a purpose.
We spoke and shared earlier about seeking what we were created for. I have been led to point out that the first and foremost thing we were created for, was to place our all into the Hands of HIM who created us.
I have to state ‘medical knowledge’ at this point. Adrenaline junkies, epinephrine ‘rush’ seekers. Why? This was placed in and on my Spirit to share.
We all look for a sense of completion, of ‘wholeness.’ Some may find this temporarily in another, there comes a yearning for more. At this time I will suggest that minors be excluded from the discourse.
Let me break this all the way down. We get down and dirty here.
1. Cheating! Why? I ask again Why? You have, yet you look elsewhere! That is someone else’s. Even if they are not married he/she is another’s. You made your decision. It might not have been correct, but you made your decision! Ok, let’s wax biblical for a second. All things work together for good, to them who Love God and are called according to HIS purpose! Amen
The initial decision might have been wrong, oh! So wrong! We were created for a purpose! What is that purpose? To know God and learn to depend 100% in and on Him, Amen
This gets even deeper. What are you looking for? A rush, a high? A ‘feel good? Let me point this out: What is wrong with your initial decision?
Got too fat? Is out of shape? Let me ask: what have you done about it? Gone for walks? Worked out together? Even gone to the gym together? Some might say “This guy is crazy!!!” Crazy, YES!!! Not Looney! But crazy for The LORD!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
Ok ok ok! So, responsibilities rule in The home! Groceries, kids, school, homework, cleaning, cooking, organizing, work, assignments, responsibilities… An endless list. What have you done? Havecyoi chipped in? Look, look at your partner closely, real close! Now, let me offer a challenge. Give your partner 24 hours off and YOU do the work they do. Get your hiney off the couch! Yes, it might have been an ‘incredibly’ hectic day at work! Yes! Did YOU share it? Other party, Did YOU listen?
What changes/differences can you make? I have to ask. What can you do? Remember, we are talking about your decision. Remember, I asked you to deal with your stressors at work and take on the responsibilities at home for 24 hours. Cam you do it? You may call me crazy! But that is what your decided partner does DAILY!
Where can you make a difference? Let me point something out. IF you lovelies and your significant other loves children, speak to the gym, start a volunteer nursery at the gym and live your dream! There are so many things I can suggest along these lines. A stroller, a double stroller? When was the last time you went for a walk with your partner? Spent time?
OK! Let me point something out. What are your partners likes? What turnscthem on? What turned you on about them? Have you asked this? What have you done to enhance this quality. We will NOT go into details, but think on this. What made you fall in Love?
We have spoken about the qualities of Love. We have 1 Corinthians 13’d it till we are blue in the face. Let us take a look at it again!
Charity suffereth long, in all we should be patient and willing to tolerate the ‘lack’ in another. How have we striven to correct it? Again DO NOT BE JUDGEMENTAL! Rather, try to accept things for what and how they are and strive to improve!
Love is kind! What is the definition of kind? Do we have Love? Kindness is defined as giving to others as we expect things to be given to us! Did you read that? Do unto your other half what you would want your other half to do unto you! A man and woman will leave their parents house and become one! One!!! You I am sure you have heard that before. Gym rats! Would you work-out one side of your body and ignore the other?
Frankly, it becomes so clear. But, I admit that I have been led to continue. Now, I will confess that I have made mistakes. Too many to name. At times, I wondered why I was allowed to return from my coma! In my experience, before I awoke from my ‘dream’ I said In my ‘dream’ that I would share what I had seen. Each day by The Grace of God, I have the ability to share. This I guess is part of that sharing.
There is so much about our lives that could and should be different, Amen. The decision, the very decision is ours. We are allowed to make decisions. Each one we will give account of. I could delve into this, but will leave that for another time. The main reason I mentioned that was to point out that I am here for a reason. The many mistakes I made, I am here to ask\advise you not to make.
Back to what we were discussing. How do you ensure that the same passion that you brought into the union is still there? In actuality, it should not be the same. We should grown in Love. Verse 12 says: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became an adult in my actions and feelings (in Love), I put away childish things (feelings, emotions, self pity, regrets…)
Love envieth not. This means heavily on seeing what someone else has! As stated, that individual may not be ‘hitched’ yet, but by the grace and goodness of The Father, they will. Keep your eyes to and on your own thing!
Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, IF we find ourselves feeling prideful over others, curtail it!
Love rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; we are taught so many places what ‘truth’ is. When sinning (doing what in our Spirit is ‘wrong’) do we lie to ourselves about our acts?
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-9
So now faith, hope, and LOVE abide, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.
