When one interns to commit to someone, he/she must be willing to learn to start all over through forgiveness daily even when faults haven't been acknowledged by the guilty part.
Our minds must be programmed that, our partners cannot fulfill all our needs. We too cannot satisfy all their needs. Therefore we must be willing to forgive others for not being God but humans who can only give part of what our hearts longs for,,,,, satisfaction. Which can only be found in God alone. By so doing (forgiving the other part daily for his/her limitations) we are opening the door of appreciation for what one is able to offer, which is not all the other part desires but still worth being celebrated fore it still is a reflection of God's love manifesting through him/her.
Please share your view.
The question is open for guys too who may wish to share their thoughts.... Thank you!
Commitment is to be ready for the other with his/her flaws.Once we realize that we all have flaws(all human beings),we can be able to appreciate others without capitalizing on their flaws.I believe every person has their good side so learn to focus on the good and always pray for insight to be to deal with the other side with love.
Forgiveness is very crucial in a relationship.And no human being can be able to satisfy the other wholly.So appreciate the part that she/he satisfies and you will be able to deal with the other with all understanding and love.
Every relationship whether romantic or platonic, to some extent has its own set of expectations that is tried to be met by the parties involved. Some of said demands are presumed and some need to be verbalized. However, falling short or failure to meet them is inevitable on account of our nature. It is a different story if the non-compliance is deliberate. Even so that it is the latter case, the role of being forgiving is vital to restore the mess.
Love is the key to harmonious, mature and enduring relationships. It covers a multitude of sins and the main drive to please our partners. Talk-- couples should talk often and be sensitive to non-verbal messages in order to know each others' heart. We Christians read the Bible to know what makes Him happy, His thoughts, His laws, His love etc---in the process we learn how to address God and our love and faith in Him also grow.
If we have love in our hearts, we know how to accept imperfections and disregard the flaws of our partners. Because of love also we would endeavor to overcome our negative attitudes that bar us from meeting our partner's expectations.
Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Colossians 3:12-13
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
Sisygirl my friend......another post of relevance! Kudos child of God! Lukia and servewithlove.......what more can be said! There's really nothing more to add but well spoken sister's in Christ! Be blessed.
The more I read your post, the mor I like the way you think (no matter being that far from South Africa). Ha! Ha!
Commitment is a lottery!
One of my brothers got a girl on her 30. She loves her like is she were a teen, but he doesn't seem to be commited, although she moved to lived at his apartment and I think he abused her asking too many things from her.
I hope she endures this and I hope my brother sees he is old enough (51). That woman is childless, tender, good caring, but he wants a "perfect" dream (how fool I am when daydreaming that way).
Have you read on the OT when Rachel commited to Isaac, without having seen his picture? (She just had a glimpse on Abrahamś wealth). He! He!
Sometimes "commitment" is sought for those things we people expect. I would like to say that I came to GOD to "be saved", but that was NOT love, it wasn't a repentance, it was a convenient LIE I followed when thinking it was a form of commitment...
You are right forgiveness is very important. It sets you free and enables you to goon with your life in peace. God forgives us and in the same way we should forgive those that hurt us.
