LOVE


LOVE

Love, through the years, is rather like a pearl.

The enemy of your soul is about his mischief of undoing love, of undermining confidence in the one loved, of chipping away at the tree on which love grows. The evil one will try to strike a Christian's love at its root, which is the heart of CHRIST HIMSELF.

You, Believer, must know that your love, ordained of the HOLY ONE is not vulnerable to the enemy's sly attacks.

No.

Because your love has been given the gift used most beautifully by the oyster. When an irritant enters the oyster's world, he doesn't try to get rid of it. The oyster acknowledges that it's there and resolves to make something beautiful and valuable from it.

In your case, precious Saint of GOD, you have the balm of forgiveness with which to coat your irritant. It transforms the pain from something unbearable to something that evidences the loveliness of CHRIST who first showed us how to forgive.

When HE said, "Father, forgive them, they don't know what they do," HE showed us the way to transform every hurt done against us into a PEARL OF GREAT PRICE.

How do you make a love the treasure it was meant to be?

Transform it into a pearl when the enemy would crush it into a mere irritant within you.
