Hmmm...

Well...i'm going to talk about love again..last weekend, i attended a wedding ceremony in a church for the first time..i'm kinda impressed with the whole thing..how the bridegroom awaits the bride and all that..it reminds me of what is going to take place in the days ahead..=)

Song of Solomon 2:4
Let Him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love
Jeremiah 31:3
"I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness

Anyway, what really amazed me was the pastor's message..everybody will expect a lovey-dovey message on a wedding day..but what he shared was not that.he gave a straight forward and a realistic sermon on love. He said at the point of marriage, the love they had for each other is just romantic love...because the reality will set in when they live together and each will see the other bad habits and will their love still be as hot for each other as on the marriage day itself? If you were to see :

i) A couple holding hands,trying to steal some kisses here an there -> they are not married

ii) A couple holding hands just talking to each other -> they've been married for a year

iii) A woman walk in front and the other man following behind -> they've been married for more than 5 yrs

Interesting right but this is the real thing..that is why we see so many divorce cases nowadays..ppl are becoming more and more impatient and selfish...so the question is how do we maintain our love for one another?how do couples make sure that their love and passion will never die down?

1 John 4:7-10
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

There is only one simple concept...let God will in the center of your relationship and love with the love of God..what is love?For ...let this verse get into your spirit and meditate on it...once the your relationship is based on the love of God,you don't have to worry about it anymore...draw near to God and He will draw near to you..the pastor did say that personally each of us have to spend time with God..when we put God first in our lives,He will take care of everything..for it is written "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
I guess that's about it..hope this will bless those who reads it.=)
