Day 21~ Love Is Satisfied In God

Day 21

Is 58:11
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones : and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Remember your hope and Faith in Christ...

Your husband may be late coming home. Again. But God will always be on time.
Your wife may let you down. Again. But God can always be trusted to deliver on His promises.
God Is Our Hope...ask Him
Phil 4:6-7
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

God will supply all your needs....
Phil 4:19

Today's Dare

Be intentional today about making a time to pray and read your bible. Try reading a proverbs each day (there are 31) or read a chapter a Day of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). As you do immerse yourself in the love and promises God has for you. This will add to your growth as you walk with Him.

Question
How do you think spending time daily with God will change your situation and perspective? How can you make Him a bigger part of your day?

Day 20 Love Dare

***This is just the dare written out for you. I don't have much time to cature more but will try in the days ahead.

Day 20~Dare
Love Is Jesus Christ

Dare to take God at His Word. Dare to trust Jesus Christ for Salvation. Dare to Pray
"Lord, Jesus, I'm a sinner. But you have shown your love for me by dying on the cross to forgive me of my sins, and you have proven your power to save me from death by your Resurrection. Lord, change my heart, and save me by your grace.

Day 19 'Love Is Impossible'

1 John 4:7

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

You cannot manufacture unconditional love (or agape love) out of your own heart. Only God can do this through you. How many times has your love failed to keep you from lying, from lusting, from overreacting, from thinking evil of this person you've vowed before God to love the rest of your life? How many times has it proven to be incapable of controlling your anger?

It is this failure that exposes mankind's sinful nature.
Romans 3:23
We are guilty as charged before allmighty God
Romans 6:23

Love is from God
1 John 4:7

Apart from God you can do nothing
John 15:5

But God said, if we abide in Him....John 15:7

Ephesians 3:19

God can do abundantly and above all that we could think or ask
Eph 3:20

The Holy Spirit is our help.
Romans 5:5

Today's Dare
Looking over the past Dare's was there something you thought you were incapable of doing? Have you realized your need for God's help in your life? Have you asked God to change your heart and give you the ability to LOVE as he tells us in His Word?

Do you know for SURE where your eternal destination is when you die? Oh my friend, without this you have nothing, but an eternal hell waiting for you. Sounds harsh but there is a penalty for our sins. The only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ, and accepting him as your PERSONAL Savior. I pray that today if you are here on this blog reading this that the Lord would speak to you, and that you will accept His precious Gift of Salvation!!! It is a GIFT, and all you must do is repent of your sins and accept this eternal gift. Jesus has paid it all on the cross just for you to have an eternal home in Heaven.

Day 18 Love Seeks To Understand

Love Seeks To Understand

Proverbs 3:13

Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding.

How much do you know about your spouse?

You start off admiring and building respect for the man you desired to be with. But after marriage, those feelings begin to fade as reality reveals that your "Prince" is a flawed and imperfect man.

There are things still to discover about your husband.

Proverbs 13:15

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors [is] hard.

Some of the problems you are having with your spouse stem because you don't understand them. We tend to revile those things we don't understand (Jude 10)

Listen (Proverbs 10:14)

Ask God For Discernment (Proverbs 2:6)

Today's Dare

Prepare a special dinner for your husband. Focus on getting to know your husband better, perhaps in areas that you've rarely talked about. Determine to make it enjoyable!

Questions

What did you learn about your spouse?

How can you continue getting to know your husband more?

What were some of the moments that made this evening memorable?

Day 17~ Love Promotes Intimacy

Proverbs 17:9
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth [very] friends.

Marriage is the most intimate of all human relationships. Each of us come into this world with an inborn hunger to be known, loved, and accepted.

Your mate should not feel pressured to be perfect in order to receive your approval. They should not walk on egg shells.

1 John 4:8
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

If these are areas you have failed in it may take awhile for your mate to gain trust again. You must begin to rebuild trust. The reality of intimacy always takes time to develop, especially after being compromised.

Today's Dare
Determine to guard your mated secrets unless they are dangerous to them or you. Talk with your spouse and resolve to demonstrate Love spite of these issues. Really listen to them when they share personal thought, and struggles with you. Make them feel safe.


Questions:
How much of an effort is it for you to hold back from saying something, critical or otherwise? What have you learned about your spouse simply by listening?

Been MIA....sorry :)
