Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
Recently while experiencing the life that God has blessed me with, I have been able to overhear couples speaking to one another. The words that touched my heart were were words and comments that began or ended with "babe, honey, or sweetie".
It wasn't the words that attracted my attention, but rather the love and respect of relationship that was dripping from these words of love. When we address our spouses how often do we speak words that reflect our love and our need to be in relationship partnership with them?
Beloved, the relationship of marriage is a partnership that is made in covenant with our Heavenly Father, and this partnership will have bad days and good days. Only through mutual love and mutual relationship in Jesus Christ can these relationships stay strong.
My prayer for you all this day is that you will find love words to speak to and about your spouse. May the words of our mouths express to our loved ones the love of Christ Jesus, as well as the love that Christ has given to us in our marriage relationships.
In the love words of Christ
Pastor Tim
