Prepare yourself to be a blessing unto others this year; don't only look for what you can get out of others but what you can give and how you can be useful. The importance of making the right decision cannot be over emphasized in choosing a soul mate. You have to know what you want and what you are looking for so you can identify it when it comes your way. God will help you clarify things but you have to know what you desire as well. Eros (Erotic love), Phileo (best friend love), and Agape ( God and sacrificial love) are cords of three strands woven and intertwined to make a marriage; a marriage without these three kinds of love is no marriage, a marriage that is not balanced amongst these three is no marriage. Most relationships start out with erotic love which is acceptable but you have to be able to balance these three kinds of love into your relationship eventually.
You need to be able to identify how you receive love, some people have to be constantly complimented and reaffirmed about their partners love for them, for some it might be shopping or dinning together, it works differently for everyone but you have to know what works for you. Knowing how you receive love will help you understand how to effectively and selflessly give love.
Our task before the next call is:
- Write out what you want God to do for you this year in the area of your relationship and be specific.
- List the things you want in a spouse.
- List the things you do not want in a spouse and what you want God to keep away from you.
We will pray over these lists on every phone call. No matter where you are you cannot get weary because there is never a time too late for God.
Isaiah 40:31 says But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.
