reflection

Being in a truly loving relationship is one of the toughest yet rewarding things out there.... It is tough because it involves hard work and we have to make sacrifices that at times seem unfair and confusing. We have to continually put the other person before ourselves and to be honest that can be a very flesh fighting experience unless we have the holy spirit at work within our hearts. After all our natural tendency is to gratify ourselves and seek to find what benefits us most.

When a relationship is done right though and you seek to put the other person first always desiring to fill their hearts with love, things are different. Your relationship is no longer a source of turmoil and pain but a safe haven. Where each leads the other to Christ and love and peace are poured out on each other.

I'm blessed to love a man that reassures this to me.

His words encourage my heart everyday and that is what I so love about him.

He shared a couple things with me this week that so touched my heart and I wanted to share them as well.

1. Difficulties make us better people when we turn our broken hearts to Him in prayer.(He makes everything work together for His good.)

2. Relationships are better when we pray. (This means praying in the good times and in the bad times.)

3. Following Gods word reminds us to meet others needs. (Focusing on what we can do to better each others lives's in the here and now and not getting caught up in the future.)
