Day 3 ~ Love is not selfish

Romans 12:10

[Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

* The opposite of Love is selfishness

* Almost every sinful action ever committed can be traced back to a selfish motive!

* When a wife constantly complains about the time and energy she spends meeting the needs of her husband, that's a sign of selfishness.

* When you prioritize the well being of your mate, there is a resulting fulfillment that cannot be duplicated by selfish actions.

* Love leads to inner joy.

Today's Dare

Whatever you put your time, energy, and money into will become more important to you. It's hard to care for something you are not invested in. Along with restraining from negative comments, buy your spouse something that says " I was thinking of you today".

Question at the end of Day 3

What did you choose to give your husband?
I failed this dare.

What happened when you gave it?
Miserably

Day 2 ~ Love is Kind

"Fireproof doesn't mean that a fire will never come, but that when it comes, you'll be able to withstand it." ~ Quotes from Fireproof.

Gentleness: You speak the truth in LOVE

Helpfulness: Meeting the needs of the moment.(example: housework,a listening ear,ect)

Willingness: Kindness Inspires you to be agreeable.

Initiative: Kindness thinks ahead, then takes the first step. The one to greet first, smile first, serve first, and forgive first.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: [4] So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. (Proverbs 3:3-4 KJV)

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue [is] the law of kindness. (Proverbs 31:26 KJV)
