“Seek to laugh together more than cry.”

Lou Venden

Page 3: God Loves You

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not

her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in

iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all

things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: I Corinthians 13:4-8a (KJV)

Page 4: God Loves You

but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they

shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I

put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;

but the greatest of these is charity.

I Corinthians 13:8b-13 (KJV)

Page 5: God Loves You

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not

proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps

no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices

with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love

never fails.

I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)

Page 6: God Loves You

But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass

away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I

became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see

only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully

known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of

these is love.

I Corinthians 13:8b-13 (NIV)

Page 7: God Loves You

“No one can so effectually ruin a woman’s happiness and usefulness, and make life a heartsickening burden, as her own husband; and no one can do one hundredth part as much to chill the hopes and aspirations of a man, to paralyze his energies and ruin his influence and prospects, as his own wife.”

– Review & Herald, 2/2/1886

Page 8: God Loves You

“He [satan] is busily engaged in influencing those who are wholly unsuited to each other to unite their interests. He exults in this work, for by it he can produce more misery and hopeless woe to the human family than by exercising his skill in any other direction.”

– pg 248:2, 2Testimonies, pub. 1870

Page 30: God Loves You

Relationships start with seeking to understand, which must begin with really listening which has to assume a basis of care which can only happen with trust in the other person’s intentions for good
