"Yourself and your True Love"

 "But you must continue in the things which you have learned and

   been assured of, knowing from you have learned them."

   2 Timonthy 3 :14

It's often said that the best way to ensure the long life of an automobile is to regularly maintain it and change its oil. Car owners who want a smooth running vehicle for many years develop the habit of routinely checking its basic systems. Do you regularly check and maintain your spiritual health? If not, then use today's Scripture passage as a test to discern your condition. (2Timothy 3:1-17).

      First ask yourself, do you exhibit any of the quality listed in verse 2-5: lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving? Or perhaps you are more like verses 10-12: careful doctrine, manner of life, purpose faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, etc? How about you? Are you routinely checking your heart? Let us read Ephesian 5: 25-33. In verse 33 "let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

     A young teddy wanted to know if he could marry tina. After a series of exchange chat in the internet aking him several several question and getting the responses i needed to hear, i asked him when he wanted to marry tina. And he replied, "In 2 or 3 weeks." He love tina so much that he wanted to be with her all the time. True love called for action. "Yourself and your true love."

    About a month later, just 2 weeks after the wedding, said to me, "I Just want you to know that tina is my best friend. We have such a great time together."

     Some of us who've been married a long time may think that our experience makes us experts on matrimony. But i believe we can learn from newlyweds. First, when two people are truly in love, they will deeply care for each other and cherish their time together. Second, true love means that a couple's relationship will be characterized by the love each one does for the other. How can two people with those characteristic be anything but best friends? When you find a quality that does not belong in your life, eliminate it through confession and prayer. Today is the day to take a diagnostic look, at your spiritual condition! Prayed meditate (verse 10-12).

Send your gift the women you love. Make this year happen on "Happy Valentines day."
