LOVE DARe: Day 2

Kindness is love in action.

Love in its truest sense is not based on feelings.

Kindness is love in action aimed at maximizing a positive circumstance.

Kindness creates a blessing (Proverbs 3:3-4.)

Because I desire to be kind to my wife, I will be careful on how I treat her without being unnecessarily harsh.

I will be sensitive, tender, speaking the truth in love.

I will serve my wife without worrying about my rights.

I will not be obstinate, stubborn, or reluctant.

I will cooperate and stay flexible; compromise and accommodate.

I will listen first instead of demanding my way.

I will be the first to greet, the first to smile, the first to serve, and the first to forgive.

I must learn to demonstrate kindness, before I can learn to love.

My 40 Days of Purpose: LOVE DARe - Day 1

Love is built on two foundational pillars: patience and kindness.

Learning patience will allow me to respond in a positive way to a negative situation.

Patience brings internal calm when the external is exploding.

Anger must not be my emotional default when treated unfairly.

From Patience I will draw Wisdom so that I learn to listen without rushing to judgment.

Rather than declare my home a war zone, I will practice patience to foster peace and calm.

I must pursue patience as an essential ingredient to my marriage relationship.
