| sugiggs | says | Day 6 : Love is not irritable (facebookers click the link for more details) |
| sugiggs | says | 'He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city - Proverbs 16:32 |
| sugiggs | says | Love is hard to offend and quick to forgive. How easily do you get irritated and offended? |
| sugiggs | says | To be irritable means you are locked, loaded and ready to overreact. |
| sugiggs | says | When under pressure, love doesn't turn sour. The truth is, love does not get angry or hurt unless there is a legitimate and just reason |
| sugiggs | says | in the sight of God. |
| sugiggs | says | A loving husband will remain calm and patient, showing mercy and restraining his temper. Rage and Violence are out of question. |
| sugiggs | says | A loving wife is not overly sensitive or cranky but exercises emotional self-control. She chooses to be a flower among the thorns |
| sugiggs | says | and respond pleasantly during prickly situations |
| sugiggs | says | If you are walking under the influence of love, you will be a joy, not a jerk. |
| sugiggs | says | Ask yourself ' Am I a calming breeze or a storm waiting to happen?' |
| sugiggs | says | Why do people become irritable? there are at least two key reasons |
| sugiggs | says | **Stress**. Stress weighs you down, drains your energy, weakens your health and invites you to be cranky. |
| sugiggs | says | There are excessive causes: Overworking, overplaying and overspending |
| sugiggs | says | There are deficiencies: not getting enough rest, nutrition or exercise. |
| sugiggs | says | The Bible can help you avoid unhealthy stress. It teaches you to let Love guide your relationships (Colossians 3:12-14) |
| sugiggs | says | To pray through your anxieties instead of tackling them on your own (Phil 4:6-7) |
| sugiggs | says | TO delegate when you are overworked (Exodus 18:17-23) To avoid overindulgence (Proverbs 25:16) |
| sugiggs | says | **Selfishness** When you are irritable, the heart of the problem is primarily the problem of the heart |
| sugiggs | says | Some people are like lemons: when life squeezes them, they pour out a sour response |
| sugiggs | says | Some are like peaches: when the pressure is on, the result is still sweet. |
| sugiggs | says | Being easily angered is an indicator that a hidden area of selfishness or insecurity is present where love is supposed to rule |
| sugiggs | says | But selfishness also wears many other masks: |
| sugiggs | says | - Lust. Lust is the result of being ungrateful for what you have and choosing to covet or burn with passion for something that is |
| sugiggs | says | forbidden. (james 4:1-3) |
| sugiggs | says | - Bitterness. Takes root when you respond in a judgmental way and refuse to work through your anger (Ephesians 4:31) |
| sugiggs | says | - Greed for more money and possessions will frustrate you with unfulfilled desires (1 Tim 6:9-10) |
| sugiggs | says | - Pride leads you to act harshly in order to protect your ego and reputation |
| sugiggs | says | Love will lead you to forgive instead of holding a grudge. To be grateful instead of greedy.To be content rather than rushing into more debt |
| sugiggs | says | Love encourages you to be happy when someone else succeeds rather than lying awake at night in envy |
| sugiggs | says | It reminds you to prioritize your family rather than sacrifice them for a promotion at work |
| sugiggs | says | In each decision, love ultimately lovers your stress and helps you release the venom that can build up inside |
| sugiggs | says | It then sets up your heart to respond to your spouse with patience and encouragement rather than anger and exasperation. |
| sugiggs | says | **Today's Dare**: Choose today to react to tough circumstances in your marriage in loving ways instead of with irritation. |
| sugiggs | says | Begin by making a list below or areas where you need to add margin to your schedule. Then list any wrong motivations |
| sugiggs | says | that you need to release from your life. |
| sugiggs | says | -end |
| Phazey | but what if there is no love? |
| Phazey | are these instructions on how to act if you want to pretend you love someone?  |
| sugiggs | says | You can take it as they are, if you like. But I'm sure it wont last long. You will get tired. |
| lunaphi | says | wrong motivation? |
| Phazey | ahh yes but when someone is in love, this comes naturally? |
| Phazey | Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy or boast... etc |
| Phazey | this reminds me of the beginning of a relationship. I don't think anyone has to be taught these things. |
| Phazey | why other ppl find annoying, you find adorable and cute |
| Phazey | she spends too much? No! She gets what she wants. |
| Phazey | She insults people all the time? No! She's honest and doesn't hide her feelings. |
| Phazey | I use 'she' but of course this applies equally to both genders |
| Phazey | you find lame jokes made by your partner are funny and witty |
