The Heart of God
Isn’t it wonderful to be in love, to feel butterflies when he takes your hand and the explosion of passion with his embrace? I love, love. I love romantic stories, movies, engagements and weddings. I think everyone should be in love, have a fairy-tale ending and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, love isn’t all champagne and roses. It’s the meshing of two personalities, two ways of living and possibly two distinct goals for the future. This process refines a relationship, but it can also strain it. After a time, passionate, fiery love fades and two choices emerge. Leave to find another inferno or stay with the glowing embers. God says, “…rejoice with the wife [spouse] of your youth.” In other words, choose lasting love. This takes a yielding of our will and a change of heart . Then, the two become one in more ways than flesh.
