The Opposite of Love is FEAR

When people lie to you it is NOT because they don't want to hurt you but it is because they are afraid you will disapprove of them or reject them. This week I have truly learned that the opposite of love is not hate but fear. Doing things out of fear brings anxiety, anger, jealously and other negative emotions. It is very clear to me now why  2 Timothy 1:7 says,

" For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

In a relationship, hurting each other is inevitable but understanding that your boo most likely hurts you out of fear can help you see the BIG picture and not take it so personally. The Bible calls us to pray without ceasing and if you believe you have found the one whom your soul loves ...

YOU SHOULD BE PRAYING FERVENTLY!

Honestly, do you really think that if two mature Christians come together and decide to follow God that satan won’t attack their relationship? Satan is going to call on the past to remind you of how imperfect you are, bring back crazy ex boyfriends/girlfriends, tell you that you are not good enough and other evil schemes. We all know that satan comes to kill, steal and destroy…Two Christians coming together will only breed more little Christians.. so of course he wants to destroy it. However, one of the best ways to destroy a relationship is unforgiveness. We all make mistakes, so we should be slow to anger and quick to forgive.
