STILL WAITING FOR TRUE LOVE BIBLE STUDY HOW TO TOUCH THE HEART
Now, that we understand the meaning of Charity and how it is
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for others which includes our spouse ...
In our search to discover HOW we are to actually apply this
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE to your marriage ...
We
will be looking at not only many more passages from the
Bible which express the Love that God intended for us to have
for one another, but also studying the book in the Bible
titled “The Song of Solomon” which will reveal the ...
ESSENCE OF LOVE
It's time for the season of frustration, coldness, anger,
loneliness, and hurt to fade away.
A NEW
season will now SPRING forth because we are now making an
EFFORT to plan, establish, or restore your marriage.
The Song of Solomon 2:10-13
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my
love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the
winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The
flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing
of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is
heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her
green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give
a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come
away. |
In
order to show UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ...
We
MUST be willing to show forgiveness and GRACE.
We oft
timers tend to
struggle in that area, especially when we BELIEVE that the OTHER
soul involved REALLY
messed up, right?
But, the Bible is CLEAR that without this forgiveness and
Grace, we will NOT even be forgiven for our own sins, by God.
So, we will be doing our self a GREAT favor to forgive all others,
as well as forgive our spouse's mistakes.
Check out these lyrics:
Grace - Silar’s Bald
My heart is so proud.
My eyes are so unfocused.
I see the things You've done through me
As great things I have done.
And now You gently break me.
I cry just like a baby.
You hold me as my Father,
And mold me as my Maker.
Chorus:
And I ask You
How many times will You pick me up.
When I keep on letting You down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?
And You answer, "My child, I love you,
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient, grace."
At times I may grow weak.
And feel a bit discouraged.
Knowing that someone somewhere
Can do a better job.
For who am I to serve You?
I know, I don't deserve You.
But that's the part, that burns in my heart,
And keeps me hanging on.
(Chorus)
And You are so patient with me, Lord.
As I walk with You, I'm learning
About what Your grace really means.
How all of my transgressions
Were paid at Calvary.
So instead of trying to repay You,
I'm learning to simply obey You.
By giving up my life to You
For all that You've given to me.
(Chorus)
"My daily sufficient grace." |
WAITING FOR TRUE LOVE BIBLE STUDY TRUTH TOUCH THE HEART WITH DAILY GRACE
Luke 17:3-4
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother
trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive
him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,
and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I
repent; thou shalt forgive him. |
But, it gets old at times does it not?
How often are we to do this?
Matthew 18:21-22
Then came Peter to him, and said,
Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive
him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto
thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. |
Do we forgive like this?
Or do we give them the silent
treatment ... Or demeaning words every time that they are around
as to
remind them of each and every mistake?
Do we shut off communication as to
show them how we feel?
Speaking of communication ...
In what ways do you communicate with your spouse?
Good and
bad ...
DO we communicate
well?
Do we think that
it might be a “duty”
of some sort that we might have to communicate with our lifetime partner?
Why do we fear sharing the LOVE
that we FEEL?
The Song of Solomon 4:9-11
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse;
thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one
chain of thy neck. How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how
much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine
ointments than all spices! Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb:
honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy
garments is like the smell of Lebanon. |
WHY ARE YOU WAITING FOR TRUE LOVE BIBLE STUDY TOUCH THE HEART WITH MERCY
Wow, this guy Solomon
sure knows how to express his ... “I love you.”
Remember when you
and your spouse used to talk like that to each other?
What made you stop?
What affected the LOVE?
What
are some of the things that you used to do in your marriage
that you do not do now?
What things have you
NOT done recently for your spouse
that you used to do or should do to remind
them that you love them and care for them?
Here
are some examples to refresh your memory:
Some suggestions would be:
Compliment your spouse at least one time a day.
Go out of your way to make your spouse happy.
Sit in front of a fire place and watch the fire together.
Eat dinner together (without the TV on)
Candlelit dinner
Go on a walk every evening.
Cuddle at night.
Get up with each other in the morning.
Share breakfast or coffee together in the morning.
Read a passage of scripture together every day.
Play a board game/card game together
Clear any misunderstandings before falling asleep.
Write your spouse a love letter.
Tell your spouse you love them.
Cook their favorite meal for them.
Make dessert together.
Hold hands.
Take a bubble bath together.
Go on a road trip somewhere ... Just the two of you.
Hug them when they come in the room.
Pray together at least once a day. |
I mean
after all, you are the ...
SAME TEAM.
TWO
BECAME ONE
Remember what Jesus said?
Matthew 19:4-6
Have ye not read, that he which made them at the
beginning made them male and female, And said, For
this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and
shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one
flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one
flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let
not man put asunder. |
We have seen what one person can do for the Lord when on
fire and focused.
Imagine what a TEAM
can do.
As
Jesus also said ...
Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them. |
WAITING FOR TRUE LOVE BIBLE STUDY ON WISDOM TOUCH THE HEART WITH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Solomon also explained how much better TWO are than one, when
they strive for the same cause.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one; because they have a good
reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one
will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is
alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to
help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they
have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one
prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a
threefold cord is not quickly broken. |
So, we
can see there is power in being TWO that became ONE.
What is causing the division that
is literally robbing the power from your
marriage?
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our
OWN goals, dreams and aspirations that we forget the other's
and this has the TEAM pulling in different directions.
In
addition ... The daily routine of work,
becoming tired, coming home, fussing at each other, and then
falling asleep that it's hard to BREAK that daily routine. We come home assuming something bad is
going to happen, or hanging onto the yesterday's mistakes
and resulting disputes.
I would like to ask you to consider doing something to break
this routine that you may have in your mind and replace it with
positive words and deeds which will enhance your marriage.
and restore the love you once experienced.
You
must remember that ... LOVE IS A VERB
It
takes ACTION
I
would like to ask that either you or preferably you AND your
spouse consider coming up with things to do TOGETHER for your chart
that you learned about in the "Renew Your Mind" study.
The key is focusing on GOD together. Find out what HE wants
you to do and become as a couple.
Get
God involved in your marriage.
Give your lives and your marriage to God. It's not just a
two person contract. Keep the third person (and if there are
children, the fourth and subsequent persons) involved.
Even
if they act like they are not interested because things have
gotten a lil out of hand, try and be creative
as to discover ways to do this.
Pray
about it.
It is hard to pray sincerely, and then go out and
actively work to sabotage a relationship.
Do NOT
just make up reasons why you can not do this.
THINK
GOOD AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things. |
SHOULD YOU CONTINUE WAITING FOR TRUE LOVE BIBLE STUDY TOUCH THE HEART WITH CHARITY
If your spouse is not willing to participate, it's still good
for YOU to stay focused and to continue to make these
changes. Consider filling out the chart that you learned
about in the "Renew your Mind" study with
new things to work on.
The
goal is to break that routine of
negative thinking throughout the day that negatively affects the
marriage.
Let’s read this study and find out what we can do
to enhance our understanding of Love.
STEP FOUR
