and it all works by . . . .LOVE.

Of course in today's segment, we address what some may think of as a simple emotion, Love. However, it isn't that simple. True, love is definately an emotion; but what about the rest of it's attributes?

1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profits me nothing. 4 Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 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. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Charity as the scriptures describes is LOVE!

Note: Couples should never marry unless the element of Love is present. I repeat NEVER! As you can see, Love is not only an emotion, but it is an action as well. Marriages do not survive without this ingredient. On the other hand, Love is a process. Let me explain.

Many people ask is there Love at first sight. Well, not really, it's an infatuation at first brought on by your senses. First you look, then you like, then you pursue. Love comes after you develop that relationship which then causes two people to then make choices; and those choices include complete lifestyle changes. If your life style has not changed since marriage, there's definitely something wrong in your relationship, and it could very well be missing the element of Love; true love that is.

What's the message here: Your marriages must work on foundational truths: such as Love. When true love is in action, it is literally just that, in action! Get it? It's an action, not just a feeling. Your feeling change constantly! Love never changes. . . .it's always the same. Sometimes we think we love when we really don't. Love accepts, receives, perceives, perseveres, endures, understands, along with so many other characteristics, where emotions only receives and reacts. Read the above scriptures again and you'll see what I'm saying here. Emotions change based on circumstances, but never Love. Think about it!

How do you stop loving; if it's really love? You may want to ask yourself that question.

It's all in the book, the Holy Bible that is. Take a little time out of your schedule and compare your marriages with this Devinne book of revelations. It's the blueprint for a successful marriage relationship.

Always remember, it won't work, unless it works by Love!

God Bless You!
