DAY 14 — LOVE TAKES DELIGHT

person Pastor Darrell Bailey

DAY 14 — LOVE TAKES DELIGHT. ECCLESIASTES 9:9 KJV Marriage was never meant to become nothing more than paying bills, keeping schedules, raising children, working jobs, and getting through another week.God intends for a husband and wife to enjoy one another.There was probably a time when you could hardly wait to see your spouse. You enjoyed talking together. You looked forward to spending time together. You noticed the little things about each other.But somewhere along the way, responsibilities can replace romance, routines can replace excitement, and familiarity can cause us to stop appreciating the person we once could not stop thinking about.Day 14 of The Love Dare reminds us that love does not merely endure the person it chose.LOVE TAKES DELIGHT IN THEM.The Song of Solomon gives us a beautiful picture of two people who noticed, appreciated, and enjoyed one another. Their relationship was not merely about obligation. There was affection, admiration, companionship, and delight.That is important because our hearts have a tendency to follow what we continually think about.
