Shalom,
On this Valentine's Day I think it is very appropriate to share what Kenneth E. Hagin had to teach on Love in His "Faith Food" devotional!
Love AtmosphereBeloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God. He that loves not knows not God; for God is love. . . . If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us. — 1 JOHN 4:7-8, 12
Husbands and wives need to let the love of God dominate them — and not just natural human love — because natural love is so shallow.
Christians have an advantage over other people. Not only can they love their spouse with natural affection, but they can add to it divine love which never seeks its own, but always seeks the other’s welfare.
In all the years of our marriage, my wife and I have walked in love. I never consider myself or what I want; I consider what Oretha wants. I never want to be self-seeking; I always want to put her first. And Oretha reciprocates. We always try to outdo one another in love. And how blessed it is! Praise God! Our home is like Heaven on earth.
A troubled person who had visited us once said, “When I visit in your home, it’s like heaven. You can feel a presence there the minute you go into the house.”
We create atmospheres in our homes.
Confession: I will walk in divine love toward those I love. I will let the unselfish love of God pour through me to them, creating an atmosphere of love!
AMEN! Create the Godly atmosphere of LOVE in YOUR homes! You will be so glad you did! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "This is Real Love":
Shalom in Him!
