All you need is love ?

AMED 47.06

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | All you need is love ?

Relationships are never easy, but they are rewarding—IF they are done right. There is a right way to build healthy relationships and a wrong way.

My mentor, Dr. Richard Dobbins, once said marriage doesn’t make anyone happy—it only intensifies the state you are already in. There is no relationship that can make you happy. Relationships will only intensify the condition you are already in.

In other words, if you are happy, a good relationship will only make you happier. If you are miserable, it can only make you more miserable, fearful or angry. Good relationships only multiply what you are already living.

Are you happy? Are relationships making you happier?

I was reading the Bible yesterday morning, and I found 1 Peter 4:8: “And above all things have fervent love for one another,” (NKJV). It really made me think about every relationship I’m part of. Wow! Agape is the unconditional love we should demonstrate to everyone in our lives. The famous psychologist Carl Rogers called it unconditional positive regard. This love can build businesses, families and communities.

Do you know how to love the agape way? Have you ever been loved this way?

In 1 Peter 4:8, Peter then makes a statement about the power of love: “for love will cover a multitude of sins.” (NKJV) Do you know what that means? It means if I love the agape way, sins will be covered. Love can cover all the mistakes and mishaps in a relationship. Do you remember the Beatles lyrics, “All you need is love, love is all you need? The Beatles were almost right. We also need skills, commitment and a clean heart…because relationships multiply.

I’m praying God will help you authentically love others. It’s the foundation of every healthy relationship. 

You were designed to give and receive this love because you’re a miracle.

    Wow!! God has encouraged me through this message. I was feeling discouraged because of the anger issues that I was seeing in me. My heart is not for anger yet I was feeling angry. And I was talking to God about myself and asking Him to help me in this area. The sentence on the pic in the message gave me comfort knowing that “God will help me love others”.

    It always amazes me how God sends the apt message each time through this ministry.

    Blessings to you Paul & Eric and team.

    I needed to hear this – again. I have not been able to speak with several family members and I believe this is why. I lack so much in this area. Father God fill me up.
