The place to test and prove love, is in the storm! Not in the Chinese restaurants, or the 5-star hotels of Abu Dhabi, or the romantic moments at the table mountain of South Africa... No! It's in the storm!!!
When she is sick and there is no hope for recovery... Will you be there? When he has lost his job, he is so broke and there is no hope of bouncing back... Will you hang in there and still be the loving, submissive bread winner? When he has falsely accused you and misunderstood your actions... Will you still be committed to loving him inspite of his excesses? When she doesn't respect your person or value your opinion... Will you still be tender and dedicated to your vision of love for her? When everything is all torn apart and gone, and it doesn't look like there is anything worth holding unto... Will you still hold on? When all the odds are against you and no one, not even your spouse, believes in the integrity of your purpose and the sincerity of your intentions... Will you still love like they deserve it? ('cause they truly do).
Yes! It's all in the storm!!!
The true power of the blade of an axe, is not in its sharpness but in its strike; the true taste of the pudding is in the eating. If your love thrives in and through the storm, then you truly love and you are truly loved.
Blessings and more, to you and yours.
