February, month of love

Genesis 2:18 - And the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him".

God came to the conclusion that it was not good for a person to be alone, therefore,  he created a partner for Adam, someone like him.

We all need someone to communicate with, someone to love and touch, someone to do things with. If we cannot give and receive love, we become neurologically handicapped. Yet, often we hesitate to take that step as we are afraid of getting hurt. We need others and they need us.

 

To be in a relationship is like a painting, Trust is the frame around the painting that keeps us together.

Trusting people is always risky, but you must believe that the risk is worthwhile, without taking it, there is no chance of a healthy and steady relationship. Reach out to others, cherish your spouse, family and friends.

We all like to feel safe no matter the status, so that we can function effectively and we find less pleasure in our interaction with others. Giving someone a hug can make that person's day, it can show them that you really care.

 John 3:17 - If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion - how can God's love be in that person?

If love is truly the fulfilment of the law, then a lack of love is the very worst sin one can be guilty of.

Unfortunately there are very few marriage relationships that can compare with the very first relationship. Yet a happy marriage is still possible, provided the marriage partners love each other and God sincerely and are willing to serve Him together.

Ask God to give you more love and that He will make it possible for you to prove the love He asks from you by the way you live, so that people will see you belong to Him.

Accept each other for who you are and not what you want the person to be! Always try to see the best in everyone who crosses your path without criticising them first, as you never know the reason behind it. God send people to cross your way in mysterious ways.

So get rid of your masks and give your friends the gift of openess. - Love -

"Lord I hide my true self behind so many masks. Thank You that You know me through and through. Help me to live without my masks in future with all sincerity. Grant me that the things I say about others will always reflect LOVE and acceptance and not judgement". Amen.
