Include God in your relationships

If you are single, being single is an important time to prepare us for marriage. It can also be a time to experience a closer communion with God. As we seek God to cleanse us of the world and help us become the kind of wife or husband that would bless someone, we will soon find that we are not lonely.

Godly relationship is built upon Truth in scripture and Truth to each other.  It is not resentful, vengeful, and unforgiving or based on lies.  Here are some other things it is not:

1.       Something you "fall into" - a black hole.
 2. Infatuation. Emotional loss of control. "Flipped out.."  "Couldn't help myself." Romanticism  and sentimentalism. "Puppy love." Boy-crazy; girl-crazy.
3. Evaluating another by external criteria. "She's a #10"
4. Selfish. Interested in "getting" to satisfy my needs.
5. Taking advantage of another (age, height, weight, looks, intellect, emotional maturity, spiritual maturity, social standings, social skills, psychological understanding, place of
authority, financial superiority, etc.)
 6. Improper need fulfillment. Need for love, acceptance, relating, bonding, belonging, to be valued, affirmed, excitement, identity, etc.
7. Lust.  Hormones.  Lasciviousness, sensuality. "Let's get physical."
8. Sex.  "Making love."
9. Idolatry. "..........is my life.  " Totally preoccupied in attention and time.

Growing up

Being in Love

BEING IN LOVE

Think back to when you

me that man/woman that you just knew would be the one.

Remember when you realized/admitted

to yourself that you loved him/her.

Now remember how much

you wanted to act like you were in a movie, and yell to everyone in the

football stadium 'I love (fill in the name)!'

You told family and

friends how perfect he/she was;

he/she was just what

you were looking for.

Well, I told THE LORD

that I love Him today.

And He said to me

, 'How much do you love me ?

You haven't told anyone

how good I've been to you.

You haven't shared how

perfect my love is.

You haven't spread the

good news that I am always there to listen to your problems.

You haven't told your

family how I helped you pay your bills when you didn't have a high

paying

job, or how I got you a better one.

So how much do you really love me?'

So,

I said I would share

with my friends and family (for starters) just how wonderful, perfect,

understanding, patient, loving, unselfish, considerate and forgiving GOD

really is.

He has blessed me with

a family that loves me and friends that I can confide in.

But even more than that,

He has saved me from destruction I couldn't even see coming.

He gave to me the peace

of knowing Him, and He has never broken a promise.

Truly He is the best thing that has ever happened to me .

And I stand in my stadium

today to tell to you all,

'

I LOVE THE LORD!'

The Best Surprise

THE BEST SURPRISE

written by Geri L. Phillips

One bright and sunny morning as I walked outside to play, I saw  it! There it was on my daddy's truck. It was very big, shiny, painted  red and blue, and it was just as I would imagine it to be! My cousin Sammy had one, but it wasn't as shiny and nice. It was the best surprise my daddy had ever given me!

It was the most beautiful swing set I have ever seen. It had two standard swings, a slide, a monkey bar, and my favorite, a bench swing. I could swing with my friend Suzie in that bench swing, and I bet we could really  swing high.

Sometimes I would swing with Suzie and other times with KK, my adorable and fluffy grey kitty cat. Other times I would swing by myself and when I was way up high, I even thought maybe I could jump into a fluffy white  cloud. Suzie, KK and I played endlessly on my swing set.

As time passed, the paint had peeled off  and even the plastic on the bench swing

was cracking in several places. But we continued to play.

One day, Daddy had to take my swing set away. It was no longer safe. He placed it behind our storage shed, with the hopes of fixing it one day, but it would soon be forgotten.

As Suzie and I grew up, we became more interested in riding our bicycles, and we rode them everywhere. I never thought about my shiny swing set again; Until one day when I was playing where I was never allowed to play. There it was. At first glance, I did not recognize it. I even wondered where it came from. As I studied it, I noticed that some of the red and blue paint was still there, but it was mostly rust. I saw the slide, the broken monkey bar, and then I saw the bench swing!

  I realized that this was my swing set. I  knew that it was mine, yet it was so much smaller than I remembered, and  I just glared at it in disbelief and wonderment.

Sadness came over me.  It was only then that I began to miss my once shiny, now old and rusty, swing set. Yes, there it was,  the best surprise my daddy had ever given me.

LOVE IS

No one's kid is perfect, no matter how much they believe it true!   No one's parent's are perfect. 

 But LOVE is.  ~ Geri
