Day 9 of Love Dare

Love is most when God is first
By this we know that we love the children of God
when we love God and observe his commandments.
1 John 5:1-2
Keeping God first blesses your marriage more than any other practice. Everything in life takes on new value and meaning when it becomes an instrument for you to live out your love for God. Rather than placing yourself at the center of your relationships, all you energies and assets should be tools for worshipping Him. A husband might this his marriage would suffer from making God his greatest delight. On the contrary, it will flourish as he draws closer to the One who created marriage and loves his wife infinitely more than he does. God understands more than anyone what your marriage needs.
As you abide in Christs love, the love you have for your spouse will increase in the overflow. Drinking His love in daily and expressing it back to Him fulfills you in ways your spouse cannot. This enables you to cherish your bride or groom like never before. The closer you get to Him, the more you will be like Him, think like Him, and passionately love your mate like He does.
Go Deeper
Read 1 John 4:19-21. According to this passage, why do we
love in the first place? Look at how God's Word repeatedly
calls us t love others.
Ok so now that everyone has gotten a good idea of what the book is about let me know what you think and if you want me to continue posting every days page or stop. Let me know ok.
