LOVE, ADJUSTMENTS, SACRIFICE and FORGIVENESS

Every relationship requires, from every partaker, to pursue Unconditional LOVE, Willingness to ADJUST, Ready to SACRIFICE, and Quick to FORGIVE. Only when all partakers passionately pursue them, does the relationship succeeds.

Among the four, Unconditional LOVE is the heart of the relationship, and hence, of utmost importance. Without love, the other three don’t have much leverage and influence on the relationship. It merely become mechanical and heartless. Rather, the other three, take root and blossom in and through Unconditional LOVE. The level of love is a sure indication of the health of the relationship.

Peter – “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
Paul – “And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” Colossians 3:14
John – “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8
Solomon – “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs 17:17
The LORD Jesus – “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:34-35

May the LORD help us to LOVE Unconditionally, ADJUST Willingly, SACRIFICE Readily, and FORGIVE Quickly.
