When love grows cold

 

When love grows cold stop sleeping in the fridge.

You know how it's like. It happens to many couples. Over the years people drift apart and what at one time was true love and affection becomes just a relationship between two people who just know each other.

Contrary to popular belief, love is not a feeling. It is an action, a decision. True, at first we are attracted to another person. We like that person. We enjoy being with them. We grow closer and we love them in the sense that we care about them. We care about their well-being, their hopes, fears, aspirations and their very existence.

In time, sometimes the caring diminishes. It shouldn't, but often it does. And that's where the decision, the action, to care and to love once again comes in. We make the decision that we will continue caring despite all odds. We will be true to our promise made to each other.

But what about our relationship with God? Does it too grow cold with time? Do we subconsciously distance ourselves from Him? Does He become just a genie we have in a lamp, or in a cupboard, that we run to when we're in trouble and need His help?

How do you think He feels about that?

Let us think about it for a while and make our decision ... once again.
