7 Ways To Be a Lover

1) Bringing out the best
The mystery is that the more love we give, the more we have to give-the supply continus to grow. We receive love even when we don't deserve it.

'When our relationships are born in the heart of God, 
they bring out the best in us, for they are nurtured by love'
-Don Lessin
2) Appreciating differences
Let love be your motivation. Be completely humble and gentle, practicing patience as you bear with another in love.
'Love is the expansion of two natures in such a fashion
that includes the others, each is enriched by the others'
-Felix Adler
3) Activating Romance
Walk in love. Remember, love is patient and kind. It's not self-seeking or easily angered. Love always protects, always trust, always hopes and always presevers. Be kind and compassionate to each other.

'For love is but the heart's immortal thirst to 
be completely known and all forgiven'
-Henry Van Dyke
4) Marking Milestones
Learn to number your days, that you may gain a heart of wisdom. Think about good times, remember the excellent and praiseworthy moments. Let your love be sincere, as you cling to what is good.

'Love is not a matter of counting
the years-it's making the years count'
-Jack Smith Wolfman
5) Choosing to be best friends
Two are better than one. Your lives, forever written on the tablets of your hearts.

'When the truest part of one soul meets the emptiest recesess
in anothers and finds something there. Life passes from one to the other'
-Larry Crabb 
6) Investing in others
 Encourage and bulild each other up. Live a life of love.

'Love thrives in the face of all life's hazards save one'
-John Dryden 
7) Finding Forgivness
Above all, love each other deeply, because, lover covers over a multitude of faults and differences. Forgive, let love bind the hurtful wounds.

'Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,
So that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us
in our time of need'
-Hebrews 4:16
