Damn He's Good

I have wanted to start the Love Dare, both book and year of devotions, for several months. I finally, out of the blue, submerrsed myself in the Love Dare two days ago. The lessons are simplistic, but so true, so true. The Love Dare is my constant check, my constant reality check. Successful marriage is work, but a work of love and faith, a work that I long to do. I have learned so much in just the first few days. I have dropped my guards and opened my heart and mind to a fullfilled and honest realtionship with God and faith. To date, this is the most powerful, realizing, kick in the ass, and best thing that has ever happened to me. Adam I owe my relationship with God to you and your never ending belief.

The dare I went over yesterday was Love Is Patient -(get the title). Love is Life's Motivator is the over arching theme, but what kicked me was Love is patient. As many know I am not the most patient person, as a sign of growth, I can admit it and I am aware of it, I am also working to improve my patience, this will take time - bear with me :)

The most impactful lesson follows: try it, you will see.

Read Corinthians 13, then focus on versus 4-7:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres. "

Now replace your name or I everytime you read the word Love or It:

"I am patient, I am kind. I do not envy, I do not boast, I am not proud. I am not rude, I am not self seeking, I am not easly angered, I keep no record of wrongs. I do not delight in evil but rejoice with the truth. I will always protect, trust, hope and perservere. "

The rest is self explanatory and Yes, I know, He's good.

Thank you Love Dare.
