Love’s Work
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.

This is a repost from our Marriage Adventures Blog And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here (Exodus 33:14-15 NKJV) Moses had been given direction and purpose asContinue reading “Embrace His Presence”
Don’t Rush the Process
…knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing (James 1:3-4, NKJV).)

All your children shall be taught by the Lord,And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; (Isaiah 54:13-14a, NKJV) Not very long ago, we lay Adrian’s brother’s body to rest. He was only one of the twelve offspring of their parents.

Love
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16, NLT).

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother [to establish a home with his wife], and the two shall become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but [are united as] one flesh.
