The Ingredient Called Love

The Ingredient Called Love

Reading Time: 2 minutes

COUPLES-

Women can completely relate to the art of cooking, it’s a beautiful art that requires focus and mastery. When you want to eat a meal, it doesn’t just appear by merely desiring it, or just thinking about it.

It takes a lot of deliberateness to cook a nice and tasty meal. For food to be prepared a lot of things have to come together; these things are called ingredients.

Spice, proteins, vegetables, you name it. These things have to come together before you can have a meal, and depending on what you decide to combine, it results in the aroma, taste, and outlook of your end product.

Just like cooking is an art, marriage is also an art; the only difference is you can’t master it because every day is different.

But certainly, there are principles (ingredients) you can use to address every issue, to get certain results, regardless of whether it’s the same scenario or not.

Love is a major ingredient in marriage; it’s not just the feeling of butterflies or Goosebumps. Even those that have been married for a short while will agree with me that you don’t feel butterflies in your belly all the time.

What exactly is this ingredient called Love? Let us see what the bible says.

 Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, but keeps going to the end.  Love never dies. -1 Corinthians  13:4-8 (MSG)

As husband and wife, the greatest good you can do for yourselves is to love each other passionately, love yourself from the depths of your heart and really mean it.

Let love be without dissimulation.

I love the way that The Message Translation puts it.

Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. –Romans 12:9a (MSG)

Don’t fake love for each other; let your love be genuine, genuine love can be felt, and it will also reflect in every area.

Pray for one another’s weaknesses; take every anxiety and fear to God in the place of prayers. As you begin to do this, you will receive the strength to love your spouse appropriately and passionately.

 So shall it be in Jesus name!

As a Christian child you should have passion for God. You should be passionate for the things of God. You must burn with the desire to do things for Him.

The thought that it’s for God must push you more to do things that will bring glory to His name, make Him happy and be pleased with you.

How do you show your passion for God?
It shows in your day-to-day activities at home, school, church and anywhere you visit or are.

If your passion for God reflects Him to other people around you, He is more than ready to bless you. You just won a spiritual jackpot!

That should be your number one goal. Wining souls for Him. And the more you do this, the more He gives you the grace to do more.
