Post–it GN #23 FD/MM/FM

Note: Although most of the vitamins in these GNs are not categorized, there are some that were received specifically for someone on a specific topic, so they are listed as such. We pray it's a blessing to you to have these topics already together, for use in similar situations as the Lord leads you. These vitamins were gone over with the age group of 16 and up in mind. If you want to use any with your junior teens‚ JETTs or children, please read through them first to ensure that they're age-appropriate. All prophecy excerpts are from Jesus unless otherwise indicated.
Like the old song says, I am nearest when you need Me most. Every pain and disappointment you endure makes Me love and admire you all the more. I don't like to see you suffer in body or in spirit, but I love to see you take your afflictions so courageously. I promise that they won't last one moment longer than I know is good for you.
My promise is that I will always be with you to keep you, protect you, guard you, strengthen you, speak to you, and heal you—now, tomorrow, and forever.
My hand is the greatest touch you will ever feel, and it is holding your hand day and night. My hand will always be there to guide and lead you; it never lets go of you, never loosens its grip, never tires, and is always ready to assure you, delight you‚ and heal you.
My hand will be with the hand of the doctor, and he will be under My anointing to receive love, skill, and precision.
I will go before you to prepare all things—the time, the place‚ the doctor, the nurses. I will fill the room with My Spirit and spirit helpers and will answer the prayers of your loved ones.
I will pour over you the elixir of healing to care for you from head to toe.
I will be with you to be a witness, to encourage the hearts of others, to help to strengthen their feeble faith, and to help them make straight paths for their feet through your witness and their encounters with you.
Through the power of the key of healing I have opened this door‚ and I will help you to walk through it. I will perfect all things concerning you.
I hear your heart and will answer your prayers, and bring you into a closer walk with Me both physically and spiritually.
Just as the path of the just is as a shining light, I will shine more and more on you to light your way and bring you joy, comfort, and healing.
Just as every prayer is heard‚ every step you take for Me is counted, every bit of love is rewarded, and every bride of Mine has My protection and is gifted with the power of the keys.
I will care for My Own, for I am your Husband.
I am your Invisible Man, working behind the scenes, taking care of the details‚ cleansing‚ protecting‚ healing, and working everything out just perfectly, beautifully, smoothly, and for My glory.
(Introductory note from our Husband: ) My dear loves, I want to remind you how much I love each of you, and how I show you My love in individual, unique ways. Some of you are married, and I use your husband or wife to be part of My love for you. Others of you are single‚ and I show you My love and bless you in other ways, and in some cases I'm storing up big rewards in Heaven for your unselfish giving and pouring out to others, even though you don't have anyone to call "your own" at this moment. In some situations I put you together with someone for a time, and then I later call you to be apart. All these and many other scenarios are within My hand, and when you're serving Me with your whole heart and pleasing Me, you can know that I'm going to do what is best for you.
You shouldn't compare with others and think that I love them more because their situation looks "better" to you—because what I give you is what I know is best for you at this time.
Please also remember that life on Earth is a moment in time compared to eternity. So even if you don't have your "ideal" situation right now, or you wish things were different, there's still plenty of time for Me to grant your heart's desires and fulfill your wildest dreams, and in the course of eternity you will be rewarded and blessed in multitudes of different ways that you can't even imagine right now. Earth is a testing ground, but Heaven is where your dreams come true.
So whether you're together with someone or not, don't let these little promises and instructions about married love discourage you or cause you to compare. Remember that I work in each person's life differently and I give you what I know is best for you.
The secret to happiness is to be as loving and giving as you can in whatever situation you find yourself in, knowing that I always more than repay. And there are always more rewards waiting for those who give everything to Me. The best is yet to come! (End of message.)
Come to Me, My loves, and let Me join you in holy matrimony, for we are a threefold cord that cannot be broken.
My precious ones, what a beautiful marriage this will be with Me as the Center, and you both as My loving brides. Husband and wife, yet My brides whom I love and who love Me with all your hearts.
I bring you together in love, as My bride, joined as one, that you may come to revel in My love and our union in completeness of body, mind, heart and spirit.
I will bless this marriage and make it work! I will pour My blessings upon your heads, more than you can contain! I will open the windows of Heaven and pour out My blessings upon you! I have already started with this sweet little child of love I have blessed you with, and who will be a great blessing to you for all your lives, now and forever.
As you place your hand in one another's, as you stand side by side to walk this path I set before you, know that I have blessed this love you share, that I have granted that it may not only fill your life with joy and contentment, but that it may also bring love to others as you give to them along your way.
To humbly open your hearts one to another is as disrobing and allowing yourselves to be completely naked before the other. As you in passion desire one another, so is My desire for you, My love and emotions toward you. As you commit yourselves one to the other, so give I Myself, to be joined with you. May we toast together in love to a working, growing‚ enduring love. As we participate in this ceremony, so do we partake of a love that is from now until forever. I love you. Thank you for making Me a part of your lives, of your loving, of your living together. I love you, My dear loves.
I rejoice in this day that I wed you as one. I created marriage to symbolize My relationship with all My brides‚ so it gives Me great joy to see you become one, as I am with you.
I have blessed you with this love and friendship. As you work together to build a loving relationship and family, and as you center it all on Me, I will let you feel the full fulfillment of married love. My love will hold you together no matter what, because I will be the center of your union.
Because you've given your all and your best to Me, so have I given My highest and best to you.
No greater love has any man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend. Marriage is truly a laying down of your life for your mate. You must go into a marriage asking yourself what you can do for the other person, not what they can do for you. Remember the formula for joy—Jesus, others, then you. It takes time for two people to become truly selfless in their interactions‚ but when you are able to get to this point of love and yieldedness‚ you'll have some insight into how My marriage to you is in the spirit.
Let love be the lamp unto your feet and the light unto your path as you embark on this wonderful but nevertheless challenging journey of marriage.
Who can measure the bands of love? Who can know the distance love can stretch? Who can understand the mind of love? None, save Me. Yet still I place the blessing of love on your life that it may bring to the fore the secrets of the heart, that it may burn brightly in your hearts, joining you as one, and drawing you unto Me.
This love that touches your lives is given as a gift, one imparted to you that it may in turn spill out onto others, that they too may be touched by this gift of love.
The greatest treasure of living a life of love with someone is that your marriage can be a foundation that you can build more love upon. I call you to open your hearts to receive not only the one you love and are married to, but to also bring others into your circle of love and friendship and share with them the love that I have given you.
I have interwoven your lives in such a way that the very different threads of your hearts and spirits may combine, and through the weaving produce a masterpiece—a declaration of My wisdom, My insight, and most of all, My love.
I have charted many courses of love‚ life, and happiness, each with careful and utmost precision. And though at times the ways in which the lines were drawn did not always make sense‚ in My time all was revealed, all showed My wisdom and love. These lines I have charted have brought you together.
Drink deeply of this sweetness, of this wine of love that I have poured upon you in great measure. This love flows from My heart to touch even the most hidden crevices of your heart. Let it flow, I say! Let it overflow!
Every time you look into each other's eyes and are filled with warmth and love, remember that that is My love you are feeling. The love that I've given you for each other cannot come close to the love I have for you. And though human love will sometimes fail‚ My love will never fail.
Jesus, others, you—that is the way to spell JOY—not only in marriage, but in life in general. As you continually pour out and give to each other and to those around you, I will not fail to pour into you and give you all the love and joy your hearts seek. Your cups will run over!
All the best things in life are shared. So share! Give to each other and give to others, and it will be given to you again a hundredfold—that's My promise.
Being needed, being loved, being cared for, being desired, are some of the greatest gifts of life. People the world over long for love. This is My love to you both, an answer to your hearts' longings. I love you both and am so happy to see you both fulfilled through loving Me and each other.
Living, loving, learning together!—This is just the beginning of good and better things to come. Even when the tests come, enjoy them. Relish those moments of humbling‚ of growing closer to Me and one another. Each step of breaking down the walls of pride‚ of shyness‚ of sensitivity, and of being willing to change for the other, will result in such joy and completeness that you'll be glad you made each effort. You'll be rewarded in ways you've never dreamed through a rich friendship and love with each other and with Me.
(Dad: ) Keep your eyes on the goal and the victory in your soul. Keep laughing, keep humble with good humor, and that'll ease the path of real love. This giving, living kind of love works. It's the kind that endures forever because it's built on His honest and sincere and open love.
(Dad: ) Communication and openness is the name of the game, folks! Remain open to each other's hearts, minds, thoughts, and souls, so that you can be understanding‚ tolerant, helpful, and supportive, and you can't go wrong. And it's true, this is the kind of love that takes a miracle—the kind that our wonderful Love and Lover and King of kings supplies. God bless and keep you, and He will!—For He loves you, and so do I!
(Dad:) Remember that communication is vital. Good communication with the Lord and with each other is one of the secrets to a happy marriage.
Love suffers long and is kind. Love sees the best in each other. Love covers a multitude of sins. Love forgets the past and forgives. Love never gives up; it keeps trying. True love can never be quenched. This great love can only come from Me, for it is My love. I will give you My love as you abide in Me, and so shall you bear much fruit.
Love, humility, and prayer solve all problems. Remember that miracle-working formula and let it work for you too!
The love that is yours is a love that can only grow and become stronger and more beautiful with time, for it is a love that I have put in your hearts.
Let love be your guide. Love is always right. Love is fair. Love is good!
As you give your all to each other, as you have to Me, and as you become one in body and soul, the team I have called you to be, My promises of love and happiness will come to pass in your life.
Let My love be the focus. Focus on the power of love!
I have given you this love that through it you may come to understand My love in a more tangible way, and that you may know that I love and care for you unconditionally and immeasurably.
Two are indeed better than one‚ and two united as one will give you the power for the wonders I wish to do and accomplish through you.
Continue to seek first My Kingdom and I will give you the desires of your heart and answer your prayers! Keep Me in first place in your life and I will be with you. I will pour out such a blessing that there will not be room enough to hold it!
Strength comes in giving when you are stretched.
Forgiveness comes in forgiving when you are hurt.
Tenderness comes in being soft when you feel like hardening.
Love multiplies when it is divided and shared with others.
Understanding grows when you stop seeking to be understood.
Marriage can help you learn about how to be truly merry as you age.
Getting and staying married can double your fun, your effectiveness, your growth, your love‚ your life.
Try to do something new or different for your mate as often as you can; it reminds them that you still love them.
Don't hold things in. By the end of the day, try to explain what is on your heart, so that you can go to sleep in a loving spirit.
I have given you this gift of love for each other, and as with all My gifts, you must use it wisely and share it. For if you hide your gift or keep it only to yourself, then it will not prosper; but if you share this love, it will grow.
You must make Me the focal point in all you do. Continue to put Me first and I will bless your relationship and give you great joy and happiness.
Your marriage is alive and will grow. And as with all things that grow‚ you need to be sure it is growing in the right direction. This is why you must have good communication, and you must check in with Me often to make sure that your marriage is growing My way.
Remember that this union is of Me, and I have put you two together. But that doesn't mean that difficult times will not come‚ for they will. These testings are to make you stronger, to help you to overcome and to rise above, and to teach you how to communicate and pray more together.
I have made you one, I have brought you together‚ and this is My will. Never doubt for a moment that it is My will that you are together.
Remember, for this marriage to work, you must have true love for each other—the kind of love that puts the needs of others above your own, the kind of love that prefers the happiness of the other above your own.
Have faith in each other; trust each other‚ and live in such a way that you show yourself worthy of that trust.
Prayer is a key, and it is something you must not neglect. Pray together, pray for each other, and pray for the needs of others. As you are faithful to pray‚ I will bless you and answer your prayers.
Marriage is love, and love is giving. So in order to have a truly loving marriage‚ you must be giving. There is no room for selfishness in a marriage.
I know your mate better than you do. Come to Me and I will show you things about them—their likes and dislikes, things that will make them happy and turn their key, and so much more—that you would have never known on your own.
My loves, as you join together to become one with each other, include Me, and in this way you'll get the best of both worlds.
As you come together, I'll fill you up with all the help you need, now and in your years to come. Call out to Me and I'll pour out My help to you.
Love Me always and I'll make all your dreams and desires come true.
Pour out your love on your mate, and even if you're having hard times you will know that you love each other, and you will see that I can supply the answers that you need.
Lean on Me every step of the way and I'll help you make it through any troubles that come up.
It's never too late to say "I'm sorry" or to forgive. If you'll forgive and seek forgiveness throughout your marriage, it'll run smoother.
Always give each other the benefit of the doubt, because not everything is the way it might seem at the time.
The more you talk things over with each other, the easier it'll be to resolve problems and to get the answers you need.
Don't put aside the most needed of all ingredients of a marriage, and that is to love without holding back. Even if your mate has wronged you, forgive them before they even ask.
As you give without thinking of yourself, I'll make sure you get what you deserve in return. So give as much as you can and it'll not return unto you void.
Let it be us three. I am married unto you this day. I will become part of your union as you invite Me. Though at times down the road you may be frustrated and ready to give up, My love will be the glue that will hold you together. Our hearts are bound as one, and nothing can separate you from My love.
Every marriage has tears; just make sure they don't become tears in the fabric of your love.
Every relationship goes through its times of testing. It hits rough points where things get difficult. But if you take your problems to Me to sort out and you implement what I have spoken, then I can bring you through the time of testing with a stronger relationship than before.
Let My heart beat in your bodies and you will make a powerful team for Me.
My brides, welcome to My secret chambers. Come, lie here with Me for a while. I want to tell you that I am here to complete your union. I am here to fulfill it. I am closer to you than any earthly love could ever be, I will never leave your sides. I will hold you both in My arms. Though you do not see Me, know that I am there. As you accept this love, your life will change! It will not be a marriage that comprises only you two, but you will always have Me there by your side.
Let My love work in you. My love will keep you united in heart, mind, and purpose‚ in spite of any differences that come up between you.
I know your hearts and I see that your deepest desire is to love Me and serve Me. You want My highest will and will not settle for second best. This is why I ask you to trust Me‚ and look to Me to show you where My highest will is. Just as I have brought you into this place, so I continue to lead you and guide you one step at a time along the pathway of My highest will into this new era of your life together.
I treasure our relationship. You are both so special to Me. Our love is like none other. Our love has stood strong. It has weathered much, through the many ups and downs. Your love for Me and dedication to Me has always been a priority, always been the most important part of your lives. And of course, My love for you has been steadfast, holding it all together.
One of the keys to a good marriage is giving—giving of your heart, your self, your life, your time and your body, to your mate.
In choosing to marry, you have made a decision to no longer live for yourself, but to live for someone else. I have already blessed your union with a little one. You will learn that in marriage‚ you not only give yourself to your mate, but also to your children. If you will be faithful to use this essential ingredient of giving, your marriage and parenting will be fulfilling.
How humbling marriage is. It will be your ultimate humbler, and therefore it will be one of your greatest opportunities to become more like Me‚ to learn to be meek and lowly in spirit and to put the needs of others before your own. This is a gift I offer to those who choose to marry—the gift of humility—and in order for your love to grow, for your relationship to flourish, and your bond to be strong, you must practice this gift of humility.
Seeds of love. Seeds of unity. Seeds of oneness. Seeds of bonding. These are the seeds I am bestowing upon you, My brides. As you love Me together and make Me your guiding light and your central pillar, you will see and feel My blessing upon your relationship.
Love will cover the multitude of sins. By looking to Me‚ you will be able to overlook and compensate for the little irritating things you may encounter in day-to-day living. As you do so, you will find the layer of love upon you getting thicker and thicker. As you come to Me, as you ask for My love, as you call on the keys of love to bind you firmly together, you will be forming a strong layer of love upon you and between you, and this will cover all the little irritations and frustrations that would seek to divide you. So keep looking to Me for this love layer that will cover the multitude of sins and make your life together smooth and beautiful.
Ask not what your mate can do for you, but ask Me what you can do for your mate.
Love is a verb, a "doing thing" that inspires others to do the same.
There's a time to laugh, a time to cry, a time to love, but never a time to refrain from loving! Love at all times, My loves. But don't worry if sometimes things get a bit rough, okay? That's normal. You'll have little spats here and there, differences in opinions, even strong disagreement at times, but don't let them affect the deep core of love you have for each other. Instead, let these times or rough spots simply make your relationship better by making you communicate more, be more honest with one another, and learn to forgive and forget. Let them pass, and let the time to cry be forgotten by the time of laughing and loving once again.
What I have united, let no man put asunder. Did you ever wonder how someone could put a relationship asunder? It's not so hard. You just have to do the opposite of what love tells you to do. If you follow the path of love, you will not, through your own foolishness, split your relationship asunder. But the path of pride will lead you to tear down the other, to desecrate the beauty in your love. So stick to the humble and loving way and you will not cause your relationship to be put asunder. It will remain bound with the strong cords of love because it is founded on My love and nurtured through My love.
A commitment to marriage is a decision to leave the old behind and receive the new. On this new path you can either learn the hard way or the easy way. The hard way is by thinking that you know the way, getting off track, making mistakes, and hurting each other. The easy way is to study the manual, guidebooks, and handbooks that I have provided for you, and do your best to apply the principles that you read about.
Open your arms and let the love and light in. As you open your arms to Me and to each other and to those around you, you will create a circle of light that will warm and comfort all that come into it. Keep your arms open, your hearts open‚ and keep this circle bright.
Love one another with My love. Put each other's needs first at all times, and your marriage will be a long and happy one!
I have blessed you with one of the greatest treasures of Heaven—a child from My Kingdom! This, My loves, is a high honor, that I am trusting you to raise a little one for Me.
Love, honor, and obey. Love one another, love Me; honor one another, honor Me; submit to one another, and to Me.
I will be with you as you take this next giant step into the future. I will bind you together with the strong cords of My love.
My beautiful and faithful ones, how I look down upon you with such love and tenderness! How I smile upon your wonderful union. How I smile upon the angels and spirit beings that worked hard to bring you together as one. I have ordained you a wonderful team in My sight.
The love I have put in your hearts for one another was destined by Me, and so the love that I have given you will grow stronger as the years go by, because I am Love.
You have chosen one another as I have chosen you. So love one another as I love you. Remember, you are Mine, and I will always be with you.
(Dad:) Love like this, when people commit to one another, is the stuff that's real, that's tough‚ that lasts and doesn't give up. Love like this comes from the Lover of all lovers Himself, Who created love and the need to love and be loved so that He could be a part of your love too. Praise God for love and marriages made in Heaven and fulfilled on Earth! Hallelujah!
As you both seek to do My will above all else, I will fulfill your hearts' desires. I will pour down My love and blessings upon your marriage. I will manifest Myself to you in ways you have not yet seen! So trust in Me, have faith in My love‚ and as you make your hearts' desires My desires, I will fulfill them.
The love that you share is a manifestation of the love that I have for you. And as your love for Me continues to grow, so will your love for each other.
I will bless this union because you have put Me first and have given your all to Me. So in turn I give you all that you desire.
Open your hearts to each other and to Me and receive this wedding gift from Me‚ the gift of greater love and intimacy with Me and with each other. As the depth of your love for Me grows‚ so will your love for each other grow. As you give Me your love, so will I give you My divine love that is lasting and true.
Rejoice and celebrate on this day! For I am rejoicing that My will has come to pass and that two of My wonderful children are making this decision to become one. Marriage has its sacrifices, but it also has its rewards. It is a fulfillment of My commandments and My will for you. So be glad and rejoice! I have blessed your union. It will be a fruitful and happy marriage for the Kingdom of God.
Just as I have chosen each of you to become My brides, so have I chosen you both to be wed together. It's a blessed union that's made in Heaven. Great is the company up Here cheering for you! Look up and you'll have lots of help and supporters for your life together from Me and all My helpers.
I have brought you together. I have ordained this union. I have worked in your lives to prepare you for this moment, for each other, and for the future I have destined you to fulfill together. This is a work of My will, a work of My purpose.
My loves, I give this gift to you,
This gift of love that is so true,
A love that springs from deep within,
A love whose light will never dim.
You two were made for each other, you see,
Your love was planned before eternity.
For you are vessels in My hand,
The love you have for each other was planned.
My loves‚ you were made by Me a team.
To do mighty exploits, not just dream.
Please raise your children that they may be,
Samples of My love, samples of Me.
How wonderful it is to live for Me,
And how living for Me makes you happy and free—
Free to love without restraint,
And find a love without complaint.
Thus I bless this union today
Of love and lives that together will stay
Close to Me and each other too,
My precious loves, I love you.
I love your love, for it's straight from your heart,
From each other and Me you won't depart.
So I give My blessings and love to you,
And know our love will always be true.
This union is a gift that I place in your hand. It is a gift with many wrappings, and many surprises that you will discover and uncover as the days and weeks and years go by. It is a gift that will never stop giving, for as you give to Me, I will give to you, and you will have more to give to each other, and to others, and to the world.
I have bestowed on you, My beloved ones, many precious gifts during your lives, but this gift I'm giving you now, of each other's enduring wedded love‚ is one of the most precious. And the more you cherish it and help it to grow, the more precious it will become to you.
Marriage is an extension of My love for you. For as you stand together to make known your vows of love and your commitment to one another, so you stand before Me and commit to being married to Me too.
The love I have given you for each other is a manifestation of My love for you. I have brought you together so that My love may be made manifest in your lives. Your love for each other is the completion of My love for you both.
My precious and beloved ones, thank you for taking this next step, for being willing to commit to each other. It is a beautiful thing in My sight when I see My brides committing to each other. It shows your dedication and your sincerity. You are not only committed to one another, but also to Me, and that makes your marriage a thing of rare beauty.
It makes Me so happy to see you both care for each other. My plan worked! Hurray! You were destined for each other, and through careful planning and your yieldedness I've brought you together, because I love you.
Being married is like starting a new life. It's like being born again. The man and woman leave their previous worlds and lives behind to become one flesh, one entity‚ one life. Old things are passed away, and all things become new. Together you can build on this new start, using each other's strengths, and safeguarding each other in your weak areas, to build and work together on the dreams you could not build alone.
May we always be close in spirit and in body. For the love I give fuels your union and gives you the passion, love, understanding, and tolerance that enables you to not just live together, but complete your union in Me.
When you put Me in your midst, when you include Me in every area of your lives, you will stand strong and face anything that comes your way.
Remember, My loves, we three are bound together with a golden strand of love so strong that no power on Earth or in Heaven can break it!
I am your Marriage Counselor! When you have questions and things arise that you need help with and answers to‚ come to Me! I have all the answers you need and the expertise to face any situation that arises. You can have full confidence that everything will always work out fine as you follow My advice.
Praise Me together! Love Me together! Sing to Me together! Pray together! In unity there's strength, and I love it when you call on Me together. I dwell in your praises and prayers. That's when I can show you My power.
When one of you is weak, then the other one is there to lift you up. Just as when you're weak, I'll lift you up. You are there to give encouragement and strength to each other and help lift each other's burdens. Remember, that's what I do for you. Follow in My footsteps and you'll see that the burdens will be lighter and the yoke will be easier.
Be each other's prayer warrior. Share your intimate requests and desires with each other and support each other in prayer. Know that you can count on each other to be there and to be intercessors before My throne. You will see the results and get the extra boosts and answers to prayer that you need.
Give each other appreciation! Compliment each other every day, just as I compliment you, My precious brides that I'm proud of. Words of appreciation will lift you up and feed the fire of your love with good fuel that will help your relationship to burn and be lasting.
Read My Word together! Hear My Words to you together! Claim the power of the keys together. Focus on Me, think My thoughts, and I will come through for you! Wield the weapon of My Word and My Spirit and I will fight for you and bring you through to victory!
The love that I have given you will stand the test of time, for the love I have put in your hearts is true and undying, but most of all sustaining. May the love I have given you enable you to go the distance.
I have given you understanding of each other, and this will cause your minds to meld. I have made you perceptive and given you the ability to communicate well with one another. Don't lose this gift, for through it I enable you to resolve differences.
The sweetness you have toward each other has set you apart and has given Me the opportunity to use you as a sample of what a good marriage should be.
I have kissed your union with the blessing of new life. I have brought you together and given you a gift of a little of both of you in one entity—your child. May your child always draw you together through good times and the rest of times.
Your child is My love gift to you. He is a fruit and a proof of your union and a gift from Heaven! As you treat him as the precious treasure that he is, I will help you to give him the best care possible and you will see the results.
A threefold cord is not easily broken—and baby makes four, or more! With each cord the bond just gets stronger‚ both your bond to Me and to each other. Things just get better, even if they do get busier! And love grows deeper as you weave the strands of the cord from heart to heart, upwards toward Me.
I created you both‚ I put you together, and I have blessed you with My little one. He is My confirmation of your union.
You know I want you together, because I've given you a child. When you're tempted to wonder or waver, think of him, what a joy he is, and how I've given him to you to raise together.
What a beautiful project—making a haven, a home of hearts, a sheltered citadel and sanctuary for the nurture and maturation of your little ones, a strong link that connects firmly with your greater marriage. What a beautiful thing this is to Me.
I have created you for one another. I have balanced your attributes and temperaments, gifts and talents to complement one another. Your chemistry, combined with Mine, makes for a complete team.
Don't let the little things slip by, for it is negligence in the small details of marriage that often defeat couples. The coffee in the morning, the flowers on the mantle, and little kisses that say I love you—or the absence of these little acts of love—are the details that make or break most unions.
If you give love, you'll get love, and the more love you give, the more you'll get. It never runs out, because it's My love, and I have a never-ending supply.
Be patient, My loves. I know it's frustrating when things don't happen when you'd like them to‚ as quickly as you want them to, or the way you hoped they would. But all things will work together for good to you who are My called and chosen, and who have chosen to unite in My love.
Try something new today in expressing your love. Look for some new way to be loving and your heart will grow larger and ever more capable of love. It's a wonderful cycle, as loving makes you capable of even more love, and your joy will know no end as it goes on increasing!
This love bond that I have given you for each other is a perfect illustration of the love bond that I desire to have with you. The physical ecstasies that you enjoy together in your intimate lovemaking are a tiny glimpse of the ecstasies of the spirit that we will enjoy when we are together in Heaven.
The secret to keeping this special gift of love I've given you is to keep giving it away.
One of the reasons I've given you so much love for each other is so that there'll be enough to share with others.
Build your marriage nest with the many tiny strands of everyday sacrificial love—a little here, a little there—and it will weather the winds and storms that come. And you and your little ones will find great comfort and warmth therein.
The more you invest in building your marriage, the more of it you will have to enjoy.
Love is a gift from My hand. It's something rare and precious that I give to you, My loves. Treasure this love‚ hold it close to you always, and believe that it is indeed from Me. This will help you make it through the rough spots and the trials that come to every marriage. Knowing in your heart and having that confidence that it was Me Who put you together will be the thing that keeps you and helps you to make it.
Remember above all‚ My brides, that your union is with Me. As you commit your lives to each other, commit your lives to Me. Let Me always be there with you, in the center, and we shall be a threefold cord that is not easily broken.
Above all things have love, for love will cover a multitude of sins. Pray together each morning for love and humility, for it is through love, humility‚ and prayer that your union will be an enduring one.
Never forget to laugh. Never forget to hug. Never forget to kiss. Never forget to appreciate. Never forget to surprise. Never forget to see Me in your loved one. Those are some of the secrets to keeping your marriage alive, your hearts young, and your love growing.
Forgiveness is the pancakes she makes him even if he's forgotten to take out the trash. Understanding is the flower on her pillow when it's "that time of the month." Loving kindness is changing the baby's diaper even when it's his turn. Showing appreciation is rubbing her feet even when you're tired. Love is giving rather than expecting to receive.
Some of the greatest moments of any marriage are shared in bed. Pray together when you're lying there, about to fall asleep, that your spirits might be united for their journeys in the night. And pray together when you wake up, that you might walk the path of My will together in the day. Draw closer to Me together, and you will also draw closer to each other.
Respecting your mate causes their admiration for you to grow.
Freely ye have received‚ freely give. Freely I give My love and blessing to you and to this union. So freely give your love and blessing to those I have ordained you to reach. I have put you together that you might better serve Me. Let this always be your guiding thought, your motivating passion, the love that compels you.
Be fruitful and multiply! Multiply love. Multiply giving. Multiply helping. Multiply serving. Multiply the fruits of My Spirit and the fruits of My Word. Cherish together the special place of service you have been given. Cherish the love that has been entrusted to you. Cherish the bond that I have created between you. Cherish the gifts this union will bring.
One of the most important pointers to a successful marriage is keeping Me in first place. When you give Me the honor that's My due in your relationship, then it remains our combined relationship and nothing can hinder it.
Always cherish each other in a very special way, and you will always catch that magical sparkle that glimmers in each other's eye.
It takes a lot of understanding to make a marriage stand.
Openness and honesty are two ingredients that hold a marriage together as it matures.
There's something to be said for sticking. There are times in every marriage when you're not sure you'll make it, but as you hold on by faith through those times, you will make it‚ and your love will be all the stronger for it.
Life is experienced to the fullest when shared with another.
True love never grows old or turns sour. I have given you My true, pure love for one another, and you can keep it as a gift to be treasured for eternity.
Yours is truly a marriage made in Heaven—a special token of My love and care for you.
Closeness with unbreakable ties comes from sharing everything you have and keeping nothing back for yourself.
Frequent compliments to each other help remind you often of how you appreciate each other. Everyone benefits from appreciation.
A good marriage is humbling. It's filled with great self-sacrifice, but the reward is an intimate and fulfilling relationship—a model or example of what you should have with Me.
How beautiful it is when two people join their lives and hearts together in dedication to Me and in dedication to each other! It makes My heart glad!
Walking by faith and going for the gold results in absolute beauty beyond the mind and planning of man. To obtain this transcendent beauty and rewards‚ it is necessary to step out by faith‚ yielding your wills to Me, not knowing the outcome‚ just knowing that My ways are always best. By taking this step of faith, this daily walk of faith‚ trusting in My foresight and wisdom, you obtain rewards and results far beyond those who limit themselves to what they can understand, who take minuscule, tiny steps through short-sightedness.
It's a little like faster–than-light travel—it takes trust to step into another dimension, not seeing where you're going, but you get there much quicker. It is a big leap of faith, yet you are light years ahead of the pack of Systemites, in a whole new and different faraway quadrant of the galaxy, far, far, far beyond what anyone would've thought possible!
Together you can be a mighty force for Me, a mighty witness to others! Two are better than one. As you focus the power of the keys together, it is multiplied many times over to defeat the Evil One and to heal the hearts of those who are wounded and broken!
As you call on the power of the keys, I will continue to give you the strength of spirit, the presence of mind‚ the understanding of heart, the love and the unselfishness to put your mate before yourself, and Me above all‚ so that your union might endure and prosper.
Always remind yourselves of the good qualities you would be without if you were without each other.
With your will on My side and your hearts yielded to Me, nothing can come between your love. There will be ups and downs, but you will be firmly bound together in My love. It is a bond of love that can never be broken as long as your connection to Me stays strong.
Love, love, love! Love each other! Love Me! Love others! Let love flow through your thoughts, through your actions, through your mind, through your heart, through all that you do!
When I find a couple who are willing to trust Me with their lives, their marriage, their little ones, their future—this opens wide the supply of My blessings and they come pouring forth. I relish working with ones such as you, for with you I am unfettered by the carnal limitations so many impose upon Me.
It's funny that those who limit their obedience to what they can see with their eyes and understand with their mind miss out on many of the blessings that can come only by continual obedience to the unseen, purely by faith in My Word, doing things simply because I said so. That's the way to obtain the most excellent blessings, because only those who are willing to reach forth by faith, putting their whole lives in My hands, can obtain the full blessings.
Hold the multitude of prophecies you and others have received before you, as a glowing silver cross, to dispel the onslaught of problems that occasionally come your way. Claim the words. Say, "It is written!" Hold these promises to your soul‚ for these are My vows to you‚ My promises of support and protection, My authorization of your union.
Start each day with words of praise to Me for My love for you and for the love and joy that I have given you together. It will strengthen your bond and help you to appreciate the wonders that you have!
Each week, think of something special that you'd like to do for your mate, something that will show him or her love. It can be an unseen thing, something that makes their life easier, or something that makes them feel loved. It can be small, but the regularity is the key.
Good communication is vital to a good and lasting union of heart, mind, and spirit.
You have made a wise choice and investment‚ submitting your wills and desires to My purpose and plan. As I said, "You will never, ever regret giving your all, your everything to Me!" (ML #3378:35).
As you continue to learn about each other‚ grow closer, and stick together through thick and thin‚ I will continue to bless and prosper your marriage‚ and cause your love to grow stronger as the days go by.
It's the little deeds of love, consideration, and giving that keep your marriage strong. Making sure to have time for those little things every day will ensure the stability and durability of your union.
Although what you have together is precious‚ make your love for Me the most priceless thing in your life. That way you'll both be able to understand each other. You'll be on the same channel, because that channel is Me.
Look into her eyes. Do you see that love? It's My love for you—a physical manifestation of how much I care for you. Let Me remind you of this every time you see her.
Treasure this love I've given you for each other. Nurture it and care for it till it grows strong and powerful. Water it with My Spirit‚ feed it with My Words, and nothing will be able to bring it down.
Your earthly marriage is a little foretaste of what My marriage to you is going to be like once you get to Heaven—a sneak peek. Isn't it great? But ours is going to be far more wonderful, and eternal!
Think on the positive; think on what brought you together. That's what I do. When I think of you, I think only of how wonderful you are. If you want to be like Me, try to do the same.
Try to look at things the way I would see them. When problems come up, take a moment to see things from My perspective. This'll give you My mind on matters.
I can't tell you how happy and proud I am right now. I see both of you taking this step. It's a sacrifice in some ways, but I've made sure that the benefits are worth it.
You may be a bit unsure of yourselves. You can't see what's going to happen down the line. But I'll clue you in. If you make Me the center point of your union, it'll last forever. Total surety.
Roses are red
And they're also thorny,
But don't just give them
When you're feeling horny.
Give her flowers
When you want to show
That she is special
And you love her so.
No ulterior motive,
No underhand connive,
You're simply telling her
She's the love of your life.
Marriage is a long-term investment‚ one that you have to continue pouring capital into. Sometimes the returns might not seem like much, and the returns you do get must be reinvested. What you receive is contingent on how much you keep investing. It will take time, but in the long run, as you let the investment mature, you will reap continuing and lasting dividends.
Marriage is much more than a lot of pithy sayings or inspiring anecdotes. It is a union, a symbiosis comprising you two with Me‚ a combination of our efforts, aspirations‚ and ideals; a synergy of all three of us that will result in accomplishments none of us can attain by ourselves.
Suspicion is far more apt to be wrong than right; always give your mate the benefit of the doubt.
Be thankful your mate loves you in spite of yourself.
Your marriage may be rough at times, but that's because I'm polishing you, My jewels. You will both be more valuable because of it. Unpolished jewels just sit in a box; cut and polished ones are placed in gold and silver settings.
Marriage is great—that's why so many try it! But great marriages only happen when those in them go beyond just trying. So give it all you've got; and better still, give it all I've got.
This might seem a little funny when you first read it, but don't get so close that there is not room for Me in the middle. As long as there is room for Me to squeeze and wiggle in between you, then you'll do great.
Your marriage is a foundation from which to practice the Law of Love.
Love is not a feeling, but an action—My force which holds together the universe, and your marriage.
Please don't fail Me, or each other, or your little ones. Put Me first and look to Me for everything, and I will never fail to help you through the most difficult times.
Count your blessings—that you have each other to help and encourage and point to Me.
I am the Master Mathematician: I have made two equal one (two individuals as one couple) and two equal three (two individuals plus a child). The best formula is that we all together equal one (with Me).
Just because your mate doesn't agree with you doesn't necessarily make either of you wrong. You may just be seeing things from a different viewpoint.
Remember, your mate doesn't do the things that bug you on purpose. Talk about them and find ways to make it easy for each other to be good.
Remember that it takes work to make a marriage work, so don't get discouraged if sometimes you have to work at it.
Don't hold grudges. Be sure to get anything out that irks you, as the Scriptures admonish. Don't let the sun go down upon your wrath (Eph.4:26).
Look at each new day that you're together as a new day with Me, and each new year of your marriage as a new year with Me.
Want to know how to keep that extra shine or sparkle in your marriage? Buff it gently with Me, clean it with My Words together, and include Me in your times of lovemaking. I will enrich your lives and hearts the more you include Me.
There are people today who think true love is an illusion, who think it cannot happen. Prove them wrong by tapping into the greatest source of love the world can ever know. When they see you in love with each other and they see that love expressed for them and others, they will know that real love exists. Then, through your words and your sample, you can direct them to the source of that love—Me—so that they can partake of it too.
I'm happy we're all married and committed to one another!
Your marriage is like a pretty piece of paper waiting for you to write on it.
Add to it all the beautiful things you notice in your mate, and it will forever retain the singular manifestation of the greatest joy man will have ever known—that of My love.
Add to it giving, and you will also know the simple truth—that you never lose what you give, but it is found again somewhere, someplace, reaping dividends that you will only know when you come to My Kingdom.
Then add deeds of love—for each other, for Me, and for others—and the boomerang effect of these deeds will spiral you upward ever closer to Me, and surround you with a divine cord of strength that cannot be broken, but will bind you ever closer to each other and to Me forever.
Your marriage is like your pet. Feed it‚ pet it, and pray for it, and it will grow and provide great company through the years.
Expectations damage many a marriage, mainly because of what you expect from your mate, rather than expecting from yourself what you can give them.
Take time regularly to seek Me and My spirit helpers for how you can be more of a blessing to the one you love. Heaven is full of those who were married and whose counsel is yours for the asking. So ask—and you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Do you hear the sweet, soft music? That's the music from the heart when love is near. Hush now—sometimes the best music is the softest, enjoyed in silence and reverent awe. Take time holding each other, listening to the music, as you reminisce about the times you've gone through and how My love has held you near. It'll be time well spent, I guarantee.
Many times comparing befalls a marriage—thinking you have to be like the next couple. But for each couple that comes before Me binding themselves as one, I have a different plan and purpose, just as I have for each individual. So ask Me for My plan, and then follow it.
The power of My Spirit to keep your love strong and your hearts tightly knit together is stronger than any other power that might try to drive you apart.
A marriage is the frame on the picture of two hearts joined as one, yielded to Me in love, and giving My love to those in need.
My promises are your papers—your title deeds, your promise of support‚ your security. These promises I have solemnly made to you, like a contract, and they will not pass away. Fulfill the conditions, and accept your inheritance; it is yours.
Rather than growing old together, I would have you grow young together, and find yourselves ever younger and fresher in spirit as you serve Me together.
In sickness and in health, I love you. In poverty and in wealth, I love you. In bad times and in good times, I love you. In discouragement and doubt or jubilation and faith, I love you. And as I have loved you, so ought you to love each other. You are as I am to each other, and if you can love each other with My love, then you can overcome any obstacle or difficulty in your way. Nothing will be impossible unto you!
Your union is not "until death do you part," but it's forever with Me.
I will help you as you look to Me, for I am the author and finisher of that which I have begun in your lives. I am ever by your side and will guide you at every step as you embark on this journey of a lifetime. For though they say the course of true love never runs smooth‚ I can gloss over all that is imperfect and make all your dreams come true.
Your life will keep getting better all the time. Not only are you growing in experience with each other, but you're growing in Me, and with each new day in My service I give you richness beyond your wildest dreams.
I have sealed your union with a holy kiss. You have My blessing, My approval, and I am a proud Father of you, My wonderful children.
