LOVE'S UNIQUENESS

"To say that one waits a lifetime for his soul mate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting. Take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soul mates, which takes a lifetime to perfect." - Criss Jami


Hebrew 11:1 (AMP)
NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].


How do you know someone is just the right person for you? This was the exact question someone asked me. The first time this kind of question was asked me it hit me because I had no coordinated answer. In the past I had had to face such questions a couple of times and I was completely blank but this time around, I had a couple of things to say in response for which he was grateful. Afterwards. I thought to myself of how this same question could be one defining factor for some who probably have given love a chance in the past but failed at it when things got complicated. A lot of people today who have been in and out of relationships would really love to have this questioned answered for them. Well, I believe God's Word answers everything. Get your answer from the Word. My point is: Getting to know if someone is right for you truly depends on you and not on them. By that I mean what's your understanding about love?

Some feel love is a feeling and then they wait for such feelings to take over their emotions before they can say they have found their soul mate or life partner. The problem with that is that when you find someone who makes you feel that way, your body might be telling you you're with the right person while your heart is telling you you're making a wrong move. Do you really want to follow your body and not listen to your heart? You were not designed to be led by your feelings. My dear friend, this thing is more than just the way you feel. Others look out for striking physical features in the opposite sex before they call it love. Some others believe that there is only one person in the whole world that is just their right person who can ever complement their need for love but are all these really true? The kind of love life you desire to see in your relationship/marriage depends totally on you and the earlier one understands God's perspective on love for the purpose of marriage, the better. As you allow God's Word into your heart, He'll direct your heart to someone and at that point you should choose to love that person irrespective of whether you feel you're in love with them or not. Almost all the relationships in the Scriptures that culminated in marriage had one thing in common and that is, choosing life partners based solely on love being a decision, a commitment and also an act of faith. Some felt some form of love at the beginning, most of the others didn't.

This aspect of walking by faith is what makes true love unique. I hope you know that love works by faith. True love rests and depends a lot on faith. Faith has to do with the Word you have heard and reveived. You cannot be walking in faith when you have not opened yourself to being flooded by the Word of God. Faith comes as you hear His Words and love works by that faith. So, love has a lot to do with you having God's Word in your heart. The way God teaches us to choose is different from the way the world sees or chooses. Most times the world chooses based on selfishness, based on the senses, the outward appearance and things like that. If we operate as God teaches, we'll save time and avoid making costly mistakes. A marriage or a commitment that would last a lifetime is one which sticks to operating in the light of God's Word. Some people start right but then, quit giving God's Word it's place of ruling the marriage and the home. Some start wrong but then, get it right and they begin to stick to the Word. Whichever way you started, get hooked on doing things the way of the Word. God's Word will last longer than anything and everything. It will keep standing when all else fails. If your relationship/marriage is hinged on God's Word, it will keep standing when all else has failed. Always remember that true love is always forgiving, giving and sacrificing. You may never have been in a relationship or you may have had several failed relationships, now I encourage you to choose by God's Word in order to have the right foundation for your marriage. Make that decision when the Word in your heart leads you to and stay committed to it for life. God bless you.

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