It Happens.......

 

 

Larry previously wrote The Silent Killer and this week Larry has some words of wisdom that he would like to share.

I have had a few friends within the past few days tell me that people when it comes to people not loving each other anymore, "it just happens". You may see this as a true statement but it's not a  very accurate statement.. "it  happens" implies that there is nothing you can do to stop it.."It happens". This is wrong! It doesn't have to happen, it doesn't just happen, its a process! It is a process that can be halted then reversed. We all get to the moment where that "in love" feeling fades. We have to realize that feelings come and go and they can be sustained or depleted. To restore those feelings you must guide your heart. You love what you put your time into. If you keep your time and effort where it belongs (in your marriage with your spouse) you have a better chance of continuing the in love feeling you desire.  The truth is, Love itself is a choice of commitment.


Now a days we have soo much vying for our attention other than our spouse. It is so easy to get caught up in these chat rooms and other forms of social media! These online relationships are detrimental to your marriage. If you are into these types of things please remember the 80/20 rule! Your online relationship is a fantasy that will lead you down the wrong path!

 Proverbs 14:12-13 AMP
There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death. Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of mirth is heaviness and grief... Stay committed to you marriage and realize that some times it takes quite a while to get it right but its worth it! I know that in todays' "all about me society" it is hard to do this but; it would be in you and your family's best interest to switch from your microwave mentality and go conventional oven! Have more patience and wait on the Lord through your process! Remember that your marriage and the fruit it bares is BIGGER than you! I want to leave you with a few scriptures to help you through your trials...

Mark 8:34-35 AMP
If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me]. For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].

Galatians 6:9 AMP
And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

Isaiah 40:31 AMP
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
Bind these words around your neck..i.e. Meditate on these words daily and seek Godly counsel so that you may weather the storm.
