Fanning the Flame

All relationships go through different phases.

Every relationship is tested.

Whether it be marriage,

relationship with our children,

parents, siblings, or friends,

all relationships can survive

as long as we're willing to stand firm

and to love & forgive unconditionally.

Today, 

 marriage relationships are on my heart.

I found this image on the internet last night;

and Holy Spirit spoke to my heart.

"Fan the flame of your own desire.

Focus on what drew you to each other

rather than on the differences you may have

or 

on the challenge you may be facing.

Dwell on the spark which first ignited 

your love

and allow your thoughts to fuel it."

The funny thing is that all this week

that is exactly what I have been doing;

fueling the flame of my love

for my dear, sweet husband.

I love that the Lord put 

what I have already been doing

into words that I may share with you.

You see,

the Lord loves us 

fiercely.

And since we have received

such a fierce love from 

the Author of 

Perfect Love,

every one of us

has been equipped

to give out that same kind of love.

But as with anything else,

we must choose to do so.

At some point in your relationship

with your spouse,

your heart sang the same song

as Solomon.

So why not focus on that song

once more and allow

your heart to soar

and your love to pour?

I am quite certain 

that you won't be sorry!
