Pieces.... Amanda Cook (Bethel)

 
Every women, and every man should be loved like this. There is only “One” I know who doesn’t love in “Pieces.”
 
While I was still a sinner, He was still proud to be seen with me. He never gave up on me. Because of His great love for me, I couldn’t give my heart to Him in pieces either.
I gave my whole heart to Him. Who wouldn’t just be madly in love with a love like this? A love that isn’t anxious, it’s never disengaged, it’s always present.
A love that keeps its promises, it keeps its word. It honors what’s sacred, because its vows are good. His love is pure. His love is loyal.

 When we become one with each other, we are constantly learning to love unconditionally. But more important, if we don't become one with God, than love is easily broken, Ecclesiastes 4:12. Most people base love on feelings. Love is a commitment. If both are willing to seek and follow God in every condition that arises in relationships, you can't go wrong. We have to be willing to change in any area that is not of God. It's never to late to humble ourselves, and to ask God to lead us.
 
Ephesians 5: 22-33
Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as you do to the Lord....
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.  For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
