Love is fertile soil
...that you being rooted and grounded in love...
Ephesians 3:17
When we plant a living seed into healthy soil. we expect it to blossom. And just as flowers in the greenhouse are supplied with an ideal environment for growth, so a home filled with love provides the ideal atmosphere for people to bloom.
We know that children who grow up in loving families tend to sleep deeper, stand taller, and venture father than those who are never secure in their parents' love. Likewise, when you provide safe, loving soil for your spouse to grow in, they will be more likely to flourish with confidence, knowing they are valued and secure.
What happens when someone is loved over the years? Their needs are met, dreams encouraged, opinions heard, and successes praised. They're assured of your patience and forgiveness when they fail, and free to express themselves honestly without fear of your judgment. They'll even weather intense seasons of disappointment with the stability your love supplies. Admit it- we'd all love to be loved like that.
Questions
How will your mate be affected by living with you in the
future? Will they become radiant or saddened? Confident
or angry? Will you dare to create a loving environment for
your spouse to grow in?
