Creative Love

It is evident that the failure of the love and marriage relationship is one of the most serious problems of our world. Sick and hurting marriages and relationships cause ripples of bitterness and deeply ingrained insecurities. Such childhood insecurities remain with us as we grow up and become a part of society. Often, a broken and troubled part. Only by divine intervention can learned behavior be changed.

Jeremiah 13:23

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil

Great love songs are written and sung by many which cause the heart to yearn for such a love. Love songs such as this beautiful one describe the sincere desires of the hearts of many. it contains very good lessons on the necessary ingredient of forgiveness and sacrifice of pride to save relationships in danger.

Sadly, forgiveness and the desired happy endings do not always happen. But, having observed that, I also offer to you the truth that the mindset that agrees to change and lives to forgive and begin anew is a large step in the right direction.

Are we as a society keeping our learning priorities in right order? Do we save our best behavior for friends and employers, not realizing that kindness and our "best behavior" is what all our loved ones hunger for and deserve? Are we devoting our learning skills mostly to the pursuit of excelling in reading, writing, and arithmetic and even responsible civic duties? Agreeably, these are some basic necessities for life. However, we can all be found guilty of taking too lightly a right education in stable relationships and matters of the heart. A high Intellect often is considered much more admirable than good character and integrity in our relationships.

Proverbs 4:23

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

We cannot change the world, but we can change our own world. Humans are blessed by God with the ability to re-create the atmosphere they live in by their conduct. Forgiveness and mercy are powerful forces for good. If we will take care to learn and to apply God's spiritual laws of love and forgiveness to our relationships we can guard our lives from hurtful failure.

"It is of no use to say to men, "Let not your heart be troubled," unless you finish the verse and say, "Believe in God, believe also in Christ."

Alexander MacLaren
