when we go through divorce,, god does not move away from us.. we move away from ways of love found through his guiding light.. notice the lack of symetry in this picture.. the two do not stand together.. both are at a distance, one is a strange light. representing ways, that are not his ways..one is healthier toward god than the other, but with much shadow in there life. representing there struggle to stay close to god...the promise of gods ways,, is the same in all three pictures you will see.. he is unchanging, in his ways, in his promises... his truth, his hope for us,,, is eternal. in its ways of truth in love...
 
can you see the three rings, a trinity,, father, son, holy spirit,, as one, for there is only one light.
before god, with god, as one a couple stands.. and what is the smaller light? new life, in birth of a child,, whose ways are guided by his or her parents, and gods ways, within the family..
or this is ,, a individual,, before gods guiding light... representing how we are more with him, even in our individual life, than we are without him..notice how they walk side by side,, the two lights, are the same height... yet clearly god comes first. you see his light first, followed by that of his child of god, you, behind him, following him...
 
 the larger candle below represents how a couple are more,as the sum of two as one being together, than the sum of the two smaller candles representing the individuals in marraige would suggest, you can not take the wax of the two smaller candles and get the larger one?... when two join as one, something more, than should be, is created..
 
 add gods guiding light, and you have something more, that is in itself beautiful as a guiding light of love shared in his ways...  notice, that the flame is the light? and where is the flame? at the top... yeilding light to walk by.. see by... in the intimacies of love ways...
 
 
the two smaller candles represent each individual before gods guiding light. the larger candle represents a couples walk as a couple, before god....neither smaller light is apart ,,, as in one in front of the other, but they are side by side, before gods guiding light...
 
again you see god is first, then you see the couple,, both husband and wife are healthy within the light , flame of there life together.. giving to each other, yet remaining healthy... a nurturing, loving , healthy relationship...
 
does not the larger candle seem to be clothing the two smaller lights within its own light... for even the marraige, creates a existance of something unique spiritually,that stands before god, as a child of god? there is balance within this picture,, it thrives, lives,, and most of all, speaks of virtues. peace, serenity,,,, joy,, happiness. a everlasting love, in all its ways, its virtues is being shared...
 
 neither smaller candle is burned down in size that would suggest that one is giving more than the other, a unbalanced relationship does not exist, yet at times one gives more than the other in times of challenges in a marraige. this is called, being there for each other. yet neither smaller light looks to be suffering, for giving of itself out of love.
 
yet the larger candle is within a shelter, which is, a kind of inverted representation of god on his thrown, surrounded by angels singing praises to god... how when we abide in him, how much he gives of himself for us, that we may remaind healthy and strong in his ways..... though the larger candle shows more wear, more energy spent, as a symbol of gods energies spent loving his children.. there is no indication that there is a limit to this energy, his love is endless,,, unconditional,,, and found, everywhere, it is accepted by choice... is eternal..
 
 
let your light guide me this day, lord... this is my thought within, as i see the light of a morning sunrise,, let your light guide me this day,
 
and now for the writting below.. it is shared only to create reflective thinking, on what is marraige, what is love...is it not a deeply personal experience between the individual and god?
 
is it not a deeply personal experience to be shared , as two as one before god?
 
who can intercede,, god is quite capable of leading a couple to experiencing all the blessings he bestows upon a marraige... was there anyone between the couple and god, in the picture above?
 
seek and find the trinity within a marrage...
 
personal relationship of each with god...as man, and husband,, as woman, and wife..
the personal relationship of husband and wife joined as one..
the couples relationship, with god..
 
no greater love, than unconditional love, such as the love parents have for there children? god has for his children... a love that is unconditional... ?
 
what is it we say to each other, in words of intimacy.. we should know for such words should not be treated lightly in what they mean....
 
we cannot afford lack of definition in what words of intimacy mean.. vague definitions destroys the seriousness of the determination within the commitment. to often today, the definition of the determination looks more like, after me, comes we...me must feel safe at all times,, only then will one give of oneself? i do not mean,, one should not keep oneself healthy, for that to, is an act of love, fully within gods ways... yet what are the limits to how much one gives, in loving each other within a marraige...
