Scripture for today

1 John 4:8 AMPC

He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

Have you ever wondered why your relationship isn't working? Have you ever wondered why your partner is so selfish and thinks about no one else but themselves? Have you ever wondered why past wrongs go for a long time unforgiven? Have you ever wondered why the other person keeps cheating again and again without keeping to their words never to do it again? Have you ever wondered why they treat you like trash never considering your feelings? The answer is in the scripture 1 John 4:8  

He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.. One day someone asked me what love was and I simply answered GOD IS LOVE! He laughed and told me "Gabby, I mean romantic love!" I just shook my head and walked away. I began to understand that a lot of us want to separate the love of God has for us by saying the love between a man and a woman is different. That is a ROMAN MYTH which we have grown to accept as the truth. 

The only type of love and its definition is GOD. He is the author of love, the ultimate definer of love and the greatest giver of love. The reason why your relationship isn't working is because there is a God problem. The more your spouse or partner grows in their love for God and understand him the better they get with loving you. Its only in God's example of Love we get to have all, forgiveness, selflessness, vulnerability, friendship, mercy, grace and so much more. God's love is complete and whole. It doesn't just love when things are good his love endures all times. Check yourself for the God factor and see your relationship get better.

Prayer: Father, help me love you more.
