LOVE'S DIRECTION

"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction" - Antoine de Saint-Exupery


Eph 3: 19
And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.


It is not uncommon especially in this part of the world, Nigeria to be precise, for the celebration of the joining of two people to be remembered by countless gifts and souvenirs from the couple, among which the most common is often the writing pad which most times carries the pictures of the newly weds. What baffles me sometimes are their postures which do say a lot about the journey of such beginnings. One that has got me captivated is the couple pointing and looking at the same direction with smiles on their faces and some not even knowing what that means. When you read today's quote do not get me wrong, it's not a bad thing to look at each other for whatever reason in a love relationship. What matters is that you both have an understanding of purpose; that you both are willing and have chosen to accomplish this purpose together.

This understanding and willingness in itself has the ability to re-awaken and strengthen love when the storms swirl all around you and it seems as though the flavour and savour of your love has been diminished. When God inspires the coming together of two persons in marriage, it is always for something more than themselves. Both of them will do each other great good to know this and always keep this purpose in front of them. In true love lies the realization of the place of one's purpose in life which further buttresses that true love is more of a choice, a decision, a deliberate action and not primarily a feeling or a state of amnesia that hypnotizes you and sweeps you off your feet, carrying you in a direction that you have no power to influence.

If you cannot see how the relationship will serve and promote God's purpose, then do not proceed. Everything God does serves a purpose. So, appreciate the place of His purpose in your relationship and if a relationship has no divine purpose whatsoever, that might be a strong indication that it's not inspired by God. You may want to reconsider going ahead with that relationship if you have not exchanged vows. But if you're already married, turn to the Lord and pour your heart to Him. He'll take your mess and turn it into something beautiful that you and your spouse will be glad about. God wants you to enjoy His fullness in your relationship.


Keep Living,Keep Loving............LOVE ISSUES.
