Marriage

It doesn't matter if you are one week in or 100 weeks in, it doesn't really matter how long you have been married, but the biggest thing to realize is that love is defined not by the world and what the world says love is, but God defines love as never ending, it is a choice, not always something that is easy, but God. (Talk about a run on sentence...)

God is at work in all of us and when we put Him first in our lives, in our marriage He transforms us to be able to love unconditionally. I am not saying it is easy, but what things in life that are easy, will ever last? Look at the fad diets or diet pills, they are easy, but it does not last, it takes work to maintain the outward appearance that you want, but each step even though difficult is worth it. Be willing to fight for what you believe is right, change starts with me, I can't change the one I am married too, I can only change me.

I heard this song yesterday and I wanted to put it in here.

Love Is Not A Fight
By Warren Barfield

Love is not a place
To come and go as we please
It's a house we enter in
Then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
We'll work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

To some, love is a word
That they can fall into
But when they're falling out
Keeping that word is hard to do

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

Love will come to save us
If we'll only call
He will ask nothing from us
But demand we give our all

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it's something worth fighting for

I will fight for you
Would you fight for me?
It's worth fighting for

Take a chance today to see what God is saying to you, when things are hard, press into God. When you don't think you can make it remember all the promises that God has made:

• All things are possible for those that love Him
• He will not give us to much to handle
• God will never leave us nor forsake us
• He turns everything into good
• Love the Lord your God with all your heart.... because in doing so you stop making it about you.

Where does God have you today? You are going to make it, but stop looking at yourself, stop wondering where God is, because He is right there with you.
