CARE MEANS MUCH MORE , IT MEANS I AM DOING SOMETHING MORE, I CAN DEPOSIT "CARE" IN THE LOVE BANK. I CAN MAKE LOVE BANK DEPOSITS. CARE IS ONE'S WILLINGNESS TO TRY MAKE EACH OTHER HAPPY AND ONE'S EFFORT THAT PUTS YOUR WILLINGNESS INTO ACTION.
THINK OF CARE IN THE CARING OF CHILDREN. CARE DOESN'T MEAN ONE HOPE THAT THEY TURN OUT TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND HAPPY. CHILD CARE IS WATCHING OVER THEM TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS, NOT JUST HOPING THAT THEY WILL BE ALL RIGHT AS ONE DRIVES OFF LEAVING THEM ALONE TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES.
THE SAME MEANING OF CARE APPLIES IN MARRIAGE. IF ONE IS EFFECTIVE IN CARING, ONE IS DOING WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE ONE'S SPOUSE HAPPY.
SO WHEN I I USE THE WORD "CARE" I USE IT TO INDICATE WHAT PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO DO FOR EACH OTHER. WHEN (YOU SAY YOU CARE FOR EACH OTHER), YOU ARE PROMISING TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY AND ENJOYMENT OF EACH OTHER'S LIFE, AND I AM DOING SOMETHING TO TRY TO ACHIEVE THAT "OBJECTIVE" OR NOT! IT TAKES WORK IF ONE CHOOSES TO "CARE."
WE ARE SAVED BY "GRACE." LET GOD GIVE YOU HIS GIFT OF GRACE. REMEMBER YOU HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH MY FORGIVENESS SINCE "CALVARY; NOW WALK IN FREEDOM FROM THE PAST. THE KING OF GRACE.....FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, AND ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY THIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS...ROMANS 3:23-24 NIV
DO YOU BELIEVE?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WE ARE HERE BECAUSE OF A MIGHTY GOD AND NOT BECAUSE OF A MUDDY GLOB? WE HAVE A GOD WHO IS ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING, AND EVER PRESENT. A BOUNDARY IS SIMPLY A PROPERTY LINE. IT CLARIFIES WHERE YOU END AND THE OTHER PERSON BEGINS... BOOK-BOUNDARIES...BY HENRY CLOUD & JOHN TOWNSEND
