You Must VI

Mark 12:30 “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.”

Each time there is a space between you and the person you are in a relationship with and you are faced with the question, who should move, the answer is you. And to take that a step further into the heart of God, what God wants is that both of you will become mature in God and will both collide with each other on the seat. That both of you will be so into your relationship that once you have a space in whatever area, you both will collide in the space moving to close the gap. Our marriages will be so beautiful if we just obey God.

Marriage is one institution where two people have the golden opportunity of making themselves the happiest on earth but in many cases, couples make themselves the most miserable people on earth. I said to my wife sometime ago, “choose one; are we going to fight or are we going to be happy?” And she said, “let us be happy”. So we forgot about the issues and we closed the gap and that was the end of it. Believe me it is as simple as that. We like to complicate things too much. I pray your marriage will be filled with happiness.

If love is to grow and love is to last in our relationships, we must listen with all our hearts, must forgive with all our hearts, must be humble with all our hearts and must Love God with all our hearts. I must love God with all my heart. You must personalize it because everyone must take responsibility for his or her actions in the relationship. I must love God with all my heart. Mark 12:13 “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength” [with emphasis].

God created you and that is the truth. Marriage was and is still God’s idea. Marriage was not man’s idea. And the closer you get to God, the closer you would get in marriage. It does not get closer than that. If you have two people that God is not their priority, they can never be intimate. It is a mistake to think that as long as two people are together and they love each other, intimacy will happen. Anyone that has been married long enough will tell you that it does not work like that. The only thing that unites and solidifies is God.

Prayer: Father, I declare in the Name of Jesus that I [say your name] will love the Lord my God, with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength for all my days. Amen!
