Word of the Day: The essential ingredient for an unbreakable marriage
Love. This is the essential element for a marriage not to be destroyed. But what does it mean to love? Love is different from passion, which is a fleeting feeling. To love is the decision we make every day to dedicate ourselves to the well-being of others.
And well-being, or what is best for the spouse, involves understanding, sacrifice, forgiveness, and commitment on our part. This is the nature of biblical love, which many nowadays are unfamiliar with.
⁷ Beloved, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
⁸ Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
¹⁰ This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.1 John 4:7-8 and 10
Most people project onto marriage the dream of perfect love that they will only find in Jesus Christ. That's why they get frustrated and can't carry forward the marriage commitment because they base it on fragile and selfish foundations. When getting married, a Christian needs to remember they are entering into a covenant with a sinner, loved by God.
This person, so admired, will certainly fail, to a greater or lesser extent. But even so, they remain someone for whom Christ proved His love on the cross. For this reason, you should also love, empathize, forgive, and encourage to become more like Christ.
Who gives us the strength to love, despite adversities? Jesus!

Word of the Day: God has the best for you!
God sees and knows what is to come. He knows our future just as He knows our past and sees our present. He knows our steps and signals to us which path we should follow. The Lord knows us well enough to protect us from wrong paths, especially from ourselves.
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.Isaiah 55:8-9
Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow. The future belongs to God, and He has already prepared the best for us. God's plans are always better than ours. He definitely knows what's best for you.
Every Christian should live NOT by what they see, feel, or desire but live by FAITH in Christ, based on His Word.
Our field of vision is quite limited, and sometimes we do not perceive the complete reality we live in. Believe that today's tribulation can transform into tomorrow's victory and joy. Therefore, continue to believe in the Lord's promises.
We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
God has already prepared the best, believe!

Word of the Day: God Is Thinking of You
Right now, God has you in His thoughts. Have you ever stopped to think about that? God has a plan for your life, He is thinking about you in everything He does.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand -
when I awake, I am still with you.
Psalm 139:17-18
Every single thing that happens, whether good or bad, God knows! Yes, it shows an incomprehensible depth and abundance of God's thoughts toward us and an intimate understanding of us. Such a vast sum of thoughts, that the psalmist likens them to countless grains of sand. God's love and concern for His people have no limits. His God's thoughts toward us are constant, unwavering, and immeasurable, extending beyond our comprehension.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7
Jesus also highlights God's intimate knowledge and care for His creation, when he mentions the sparrows in Luke 12. He emphasizes that not one sparrow is forgotten by God and that even the very hairs of our heads are known about. The knowledge and understanding of us is so meticulous and detailed that it could only belong to the one who created us. Not only this, but it reinforces the idea that God has a care for us that is deep, personal, and comprehensive.
