HOW TO KEEP LOVE ALIVE!

HOW TO KEEP LOVE ALIVE!

MANY A GIRL THAT THINKS SHE WAS BITTEN BY THE LOVE BUG DISCOVERS
IT WAS ONLY A LOUSE."

MAT 24:12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of
most will grow COLD.

"HIT MEN" SENT TO KILL LOVE IN THE HEARTS OF BLEIEVERS?

I Cor. 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not ENVY, it
does not BOAST, it is not PROUD.

A SHORT STROY BY G. W. TARGET, CALLED "THE WINDOW."

1. WITH RECOGNITION THAT WE NEED EACH OTHER.


I Cor. 12:18, 25-27 But in fact God has arranged the parts in
the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be....
There should be no division in the body, but ... its parts
should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers,
every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part
rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one
of you is a part of it.

CONTENTMENT WITH THE GOODNESS OF HOW GOD SHAPED ME & OTHERS.

MUTUAL ENCOURAGEMENT IN STRUGGLES AND SUCCESS.

GOD'S FINGERPRINT IS ON ME AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE BODY.

I'M GLAD YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE. I NEED YOU. YOU NEED ME.


2. NOT WITH COMPARISON LEADING TO JEALOUSY OR ARROGANCE.

I Cor. 12:14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of
many.


JEALOUSY AND ARROGANCE ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN.

THE COIN IS COMPARISON.

LOVE IS SHOT DOWN WHEN IT FACES DIFFERENCES, MAKES COMPARISONS,
AND
RESPONDS WITH ENVY (JEALOUSY) OR ARROGANCE (PRIDE).
