What’s Your Love Philosophy?

By Pastor Tim White

When it comes to love - we all need it.  Married, single, divorced, widowed, kids, and even pets need love.  When we become wounded in our love life many times we build a philosophy to try and protect us from being hurt in our love life.  When we build a philosophy built upon our hurts it can be kind of silly.

Like when we go fishing and we won't bring a banana because every fisherman knows you can't catch fish with a banana in the boat.  The same rule applies to wearing a hat when you are fishing, the fish will never bite if you are not wearing that hat.   Who started that rule - was it really a fish?

Now when it comes to love - some people conclude it is not worth trying any more.  Or it is just too painful to try and improve a struggling marriage.  Wrong - it is one of the best investments a couple can make.  Yes, it may be rough but it is definitely worth it.  

For someone who is all alone - here is the thing: You are not alone.  We are a church family that loves you and wants to support you with healthy relationships.

What do you expect when it comes to your love life?  Your expectations are important.  Letting God enter your expectations is the first step to a miracle in building lasting love in your life. 

Next week, we are going to see how to build up your capacity to lift the people around you through your belief in them, empowered by the mighty love of God.
