To build something that lasts takes:
– Planning
– PREPARATION
– Process
– PATIENCE
– Persistence
Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT)
“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
BUILD your LIFE on Jesus & His Teachings.
BUILD your MARRIAGE on Jesus & His Teachings.
Marriage is a COVENANT, not a CONTRACT.
A CONTRACT is based on mutual DISTRUST.
A COVENANT is based on mutual COMMITMENT.
Focus on BECOMING, not FINDING, the right one.
Are you who the person you are looking for is looking for?
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT)
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
I Corinthians 13:11 (NLT)
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
Matthew 22:37-39 (NLT)
Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Your love for OTHERS overflows out of your love for GOD.
