Love Tip #15
There is a great country song about young love and the words are fantastic. It says, “living on love, buying on time, without somebody nothing ain’t worth a dime…”. Isn’t that a great use of grammar and the English language?
His point steps up where the songwriter’s grammar steps out. He is saying that without someone to share your life with, even the “great and prosperous” times can seem desert-like.
I look back at my life with Katie, and I can’t believe how far we have come together. We were married when I was 21 and Katie was 20. She was still in college and I had just graduated. Times were tough financially and tough in a lot of other ways, but I would never change a minute of it. Those times brought us to a great point today and made us appreciate the gift of each other.
The Bible says that a great wife is hard to find, more valuable than precious stones (Proverbs 31:1-31).
So today, if you are seriously dating, engaged, or married, realize how blessed you are that God has placed someone in your life with whom you can share it. Whether it is a great or difficult time, be thankful today that you can “live on love”.
Today, think back about some tough times and some great ones in your relationship and spend some time praying to thank God for your partner. Commit to no longer take this precious relationship for granted. Then if your spouse agrees, take some time to pray for your single friends and your divorced friends together that the Lord in His timing would bring a “precious jewel” of a person to their lives.
