Whoever
believes in me, as the Scripture has said, Out of his heart will flow rivers of
living (loving) water. John 7:38
The
rivers of living waters are ready to flow out of your heart, not because of
your feelings or your emotions, but because of your faith. There are springs of
love in your heart because of your faith and not because of your feelings and
emotions.
Don't
base your life only on feelings and emotions. Many people's married life and
family life are going to be dead only because their emotions and feelings have
dried up. Emotions and feelings are an important factor, but not so important
that you can flow with it and make decisions basis it. At times emotions may
tell you to commit suicide only because your heart is broken. At times emotions
and feelings may tell you to stop loving your spouse, brothers, sisters or your
parents.
Emotions
and feelings will dry up. It will fluctuate during the course of life as you
get to know each other better or change in your priorities. But love is not a
flood of feelings and emotions basis which you make a decision. Love doesn't
happen, it is developed. You can suddenly like someone, but you have to develop
the love for the other person. The more you meet the other person and share
your time and thoughts and feelings and emotions, and listen to them, you start
developing your love.
True
love remains even after emotions and feelings are dried up. Your liking can
change basis your emotions and feelings, not your love. Many get married or
begin relationship basis their liking or feelings only and then end their
relationship on a wrong note. If you are planning to get married, or begin your
relationship, check, is it only a liking or love? If you are already married
and in a relation, develop your love.
Resurrect
your love life, by remembering the good times in your relationship. Be friends
once again. Let not your busy life and the things of this life, steal your
love. The world and its things are not so important when you don't have your
loved ones with you.
Love
is there in you, which you have stopped from flowing out of you. Allow it to
flow once again, by removing all the blockages. There are springs of this love
in you. Allow the rivers of love to flow out of you. Resurrect your dead love,
your dead relationship. Let love blossom in your family.
