Let Love Flow

By -

Do you feel lovingly connected to your spouse?  Often partners get lost in the day-to-day grind of life. They forget to be in love; they forget to work at love.  When is the last time you held hands, or each other, for longer than a few seconds?

Of the top ten reasons why marriages fail, a lack of communication and not spending quality time together are the most common. If you started remodeling your home, you would identify the projects that needed attention and then dedicate time to manifest the changes. It should be the same with our marriages. We must dedicate our time to connect and remember all the reasons we fell in love in the first place.

Strong relationships are based on intimacy as well as shared joy.  Try taking a day off together; spend it doing something you both enjoy.  Get someone to watch the kids for a night, dress up and go to that concert or show you both would love. 

At home, instead of escaping into your mobile devices, set them down and sit next to each other at night. Watch a show together that will get you talking. When you talk, share about more than just the struggles at work or needs of the household; talk about your interests and passions.  

Spend quality time together and start the work of rebuilding.  Reconnecting to the one you love will help you remember the butterflies and sparks of first love and will aid in deepening our relationships.

Good Evening ! God has a stimulus package. If you put God first, He will put you first (Matthew 6:33). It is going to cost you everything to the do the things that God has called you to do. If you can bear the weight of your cross, He will bear the weight of your crown (Luke 9:23). Trust Him with your destiny! He has something divine in store for you that is beyond all that you can imagine or think (Ephesians 1:4). There is no plan that you can layout for yourself that surpasses the plans God has for you (Proverbs 3:5-6). God will put you in a situation where your faith is tested. You may only see a glimpse of the situation and wonder why you are there, but you have to give everything to it (Hebrews 11:6). Be humble, and fear the Lord as there is indeed honor and a reward in your reverence for Him (Proverbs 22:4). What have you sought the Lord for in your personal time of prayer and devotion? What is it that He has promised you? Put Him first in all things, and persevere - stay in His

Destiny requires work

By -
Have you ever wondered, “If God is always with me on the road to destiny, why in the world is the journey so difficult?” If you are anything like other people who have discovered their purpose and are actively pursuing it, that question must have occurred to you by now. Though the question is asked by people of destiny the world over, God never promised any of us that the road would be easy. In fact, He anticipated the difficulty of your journey and is using it for your benefit. Let me explain. First, let’s understand something people often gloss over: Your destiny is planned. It’s yours and belongs to no one else. Only you can achieve it, and no one else can take you there. You must trust God’s guidance and leading on the road to your purpose. With that being said, He explicitly promised you that He would be with you. Note that the promise is God’s presence and not that you wouldn’t have to do the necessary work in the preparation process. Many people get excited about their destin
