God's Kind Of Love In Marriage
There are very few things in our world today that were ever a part of God's perfect plan for mankind. The elaborate government systems, with all their checks and balances and laws, would not be necessary if it were not for the corruption that sin produced. The monetary system, with all the buying and selling, would not be necessary in a sinless world that did unto others as they would have others do unto them. And many other things that we consider institutions in our society were never intended by God, but simply are ways of trying to cope with and control the perversion that entered the world through sin.
But one thing that God established while man was still in a sinless condition and said that it was not good for man to do without was marriage. Genesis 2:18 says, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet [or sufficient] for him." A perfect man who had none of the pressures or problems that we know of today still was not complete without a mate. And it was not Adam who approached God about the situation and asked for a companion. Adam didn't know what he was missing! It was God who initiated the whole thing because that was His perfect plan. This all emphasizes the high priority that marriage should have in our lives. However, it has not usually held that position.
Even we Christians today have put very little effort into our marriages, and therefore, we have gotten very little out of them. We have had our vision of what a blessing God intended marriage to be, dulled by the sorry examples of marriage we see around us today. Second Corinthians 10:12 says, "But they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise." This is what has happened over the years. Most couples have no idea of what God intended marriage to be, so they settle for the same substandard relations that they see others experiencing. They think conflict is just a part of marriage; and a couple that simply coexists without outward battles is considered to be an ideal couple, although that couple may have a cold war raging. After all, everybody is having trouble with their marriages today.
Well, I am pleased to announce that not everybody is having trouble with their marriages today! The Lord is moving mightily in this area, and regardless of what the rest of the world experiences, Christians can have God's best in their homes. God instituted marriage, so He certainly knows how to make it work properly. The only reason two out of three marriages in America end up in divorce is because the people involved don't follow the instructions God gave concerning marriage. It is that simple. The solution is not easy, but it is that simple.
What does God say about marriage? From Ephesians 5:22-33, we get quite a bit of instruction. This article doesn't allow us enough space to deal with everything these scriptures minister concerning marriage, but certainly one principle that is interwoven throughout them all is love: God's kind of love. It is important that you realize that God's institution of marriage will only work with God's kind of love.
In counseling hundreds of couples, I have found that many Christians, even those baptized with the Holy Ghost, are still operating toward each other with the same carnal love they had before they were Christians. In many cases, they have started trying to apply God's love to their brothers and sisters in the body and have developed a "burden for the lost," but are virtually the same in their relationships with their mates. God's kind of love has to be applied to our marriages too.
One of the most striking differences to me between the world's love and God's kind of love is that you can teach yourself to operate in God's love. Titus 2:4 says that the older women are to teach the younger women "to love their husbands, to love their children." Carnal love is completely motivated by the emotions or senses, but God's love comes from the heart, and although the feelings are definitely affected, they don't motivate or deter God's love.
Carnal love is characterized by a naked, little, fat boy who goes around shooting people with arrows to cause them to "fall" in love or to "fall" out of love. That simply is not true love. God's love is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That is the way God is (Heb. 13:8) and God is love (1 John 4:8). People who love one minute and then their mood changes and they act the opposite way the next minute, simply don't operate in God's love. You may feel like reacting in anger, but you can choose to operate in love.
Many people are confused about this and think, I can't act like I love them when I don't feel it. Oh, yes you can! God's Word tells us to even love our enemies (Matt. 5:44). It is a command. He didn't say to do it if you felt like it. If you will choose to do what God tells you to, your feelings will follow. You can teach yourself to love with God's kind of love.
A person who is truly born again desires to do what God says but doesn't always feel like it. Our feelings have been corrupted by our old lives before we came to Christ. Now that we are in Christ, we have His promise that our spirits have been totally changed (2 Cor. 5:17) and have become like Him. Galatians 5:22 says that love is a part of the fruit of the Spirit. This is specifically speaking of the Holy Spirit; but our new man was born of the Spirit, so it has to be true that God's love has been shed abroad in our spirits too. We do have God's love in our new man. Our feelings are not automatically changed, however. Our feelings will continue to act like they were taught to act until we subdue them and bring them under the control of our spirit man. It is not hypocritical to act in love when you don't feel it. It is actually hypocritical to act on what you feel instead of who you really are in Christ Jesus.
God's kind of love is a choice that you make on the basis of what God said, and then act on it in faith until it becomes a reality in your spirit, soul, and body.
If you can receive this basic truth about God's love, then you can begin to be consistent in your love to your mate because your love is based on a choice that you have made, not on the way they act. This is the root cause of nearly all strife in marriage. Everything is fine until one partner does something wrong to the other, and then the feathers fly. Aren't you glad that God doesn't treat us that way? Romans 5:8 says, "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Praise God! God's love wasn't based upon what we had done for Him or what we deserved but upon His choice to love us. That is all! We didn't do anything to merit God's love. He just chose to give it. We can choose to receive that kind of love and then give it to others in the same way.
Another way to say this is that God's love is unconditional. Jesus didn't wait until we were worth it or had repented before He gave Himself for our sins. He gave Himself for us while we were yet sinners and living a life of rebellion against Him (Rom. 5:8). His love was extended toward Hitler just as much as it was toward us. The difference is our acceptance or rejection of it not His offer of love. God's love is unconditional.
We have to put this unconditional love of God to work in our marriages. If you live with a person for any length of time at all, you are going to find fault with them. If your love isn't unconditional, then you will begin to give them what they deserve, which is trouble. And you can rest assured that when you make a mistake, you will reap what you have sown.
I used to work in a dark room in a photography studio. We had a joke about these ladies who would come in to see their proofs and just throw a fit about how bad their pictures looked. They would say, "This picture doesn't do me justice!" Our answer would be, "Lady, you don't need justice, you need mercy." That's the way it is in marriage. Our mates, who see us at our worst, have to give us mercy, not justice. Failure in this area is the root of most marriage problems. Many couples actually use their conditional love as a weapon to try and motivate their mates to do things. That will destroy a marriage. If the thing that keeps your mate in line is a fear of your exploding if they mess up, then you are tormenting them. That's what 1 John 4:18 says, "Fear hath torment." You may see some results through that method, but it's a fact that you are building resentment and rejection in them, and sooner or later, it will explode. God's love is unconditional.

Saving Your Heart From Congestive Heart Failure
There is currently no cure for congestive heart failure, rather there are things that you can do to help lengthen your life and protect your heart from further injury. Treatment is a matter of changing your lifestyle and a mixture of drug therapy, which will alter your quality of your life.
The medical field's great improvements over the past twenty years has grown in leaps and bounds. Lifestyle changes remain fundamentally the same in combating congestive heart failure - quit smoking, lose excessive weight, drink less alcohol, and eat healthy low saturated fat and low salt foods. After that do not forget to exercises which is helpful for most patients. This is fabulous advice that is a major key to preventing congestive heart failure but the most significant is the medical treatment. This is where your medical with your MD is very significant. Don't attempt to try to self diagnose or worse, prescribe your own medicines. The medical attendant is the only individual well equipped to provide you with the applicable medical treatment.
The heart such as other parts of our bodies can malfunction in varying ways. That is why we had better trust the cardiologist - a specialist in the medical field. One of the the most commonplace medicines prescribed for patients with congestive heart failure is a beta-blocker. The beta-blocker reduces your heart rate and it's output of blood by counteracting a hormone found in the body called noradrenalin. While this drug can prevent congestive heart failure, it isn't recommended for anyone with severe heart failure.
For those patients who suffer from fluid retention and/or high blood pressure due to congestive heart failure the medical field suggests that a diuretic will help square things but you should be aware of some of the potential side effects which are loss of potassium in your system, weakness, muscle cramps, and even joint pains. Let your family doctor be informed right away if you feel any detrimental side effects from the diuretic administered.
This is just an example of some of the drugs used in the medical field that can help ward off congestive heart failure. There are other treatments that the medical field uses and they can be just as valuable.
Congestive heart failure can become undeniably extreme and that is why the medical field has been experimenting with heart transplants and mechanical pumps, which are attached to the heart. There is another experimental procedure for severe heart failure, which is accessible at a few U.S. medical centers. This procedure which is called cardiomyoplasty, involves detaching one end of a muscle in the patients back, wrapping it around the heart, and then suturing the muscle to the heart. An implanted electric stimulator causes the back muscle to contract and pump blood from the heart.
The medical field also has a further surgical procedure that can be used called mitral valve repair which may help extend and improve the lives of people with congestive heart failure. This procedure aims to correct such issues as leaky valves resulting from cardiomyopathy, or heart muscle disease, by surgically inserting a flexible annuloplasty ring at the mitral valve opening.
The medical field has enjoyed great strides in medicines and in surgical procedures that considerably raise the quality of life that we take pleasure in. The medical field has experimented with such things as healthy heart diets and specialized exercises that can only help to improve the quality of life. Now you can help correct congestive heart failure with any life style changes and medical advice from your Physician.

Returning to the World of Eternal Silence
In the poem “The Seven stages of Life” Shakespeare has cited about the seven stages of life of a man. This earth is a huge stage where each and every actor and actress is playing his/ her role day and night within all the living systems of plants and animals, supported by the celestial systems such stars, Moon and Sun for lighting and energy source.
We are the unique actor and actress in this world drama playing different role at different point of time may be of happiness or pain, victorious or disappointment, vigorous or sick, admirable or offend and peaceful or disturbed.
In compare to the normal drama, this is of long duration, where 7 billions actors and actresses are playing their role actively. If this is the World drama, originally who am I? , from where have I come from to play my role in this world? By carrying this costume the physical body we are all playing our role in this world drama. As after completion of the drama each and every actor changes his costume to return to their home with normal dress. At the end after completion of one’s role one will leave this costume the body here on the earth to back to his Home of peaceful abode. But once one entered into this world drama has to play one’s role till the completion of whole world drama.
Where doest the eternal Silence world exist?
The soul world, the eternal world of silence exists beyond the Moon, Sun, stars and all celestial bodies. This world is Incorporeal which is devoid of matters and material experiences. This world is popularly know as the world of Soul where all the souls or consciousness or life force reside along with Supreme soul before coming to this world to play their role.
In the Gita the epics of Hinduism this metaphysical world is named as Shantidham (Pilgrimage of Peace or holy land of Peace),which one can experience by uplifting the mind gently beyond this physical world , beyond gravitational pull of earth, Moon, stars, the Sun and the celestial bodies. Silence world is the Golden red colors, where there is abundant, unlimited peace, silence and purity prevails forever.
As we have come from the world of peace and purity, every time the unrest mind wants to regain that silence and cleanliness. We are from the peaceful, pure and powerful world. We should make our mind and intellect detached and flying to travel beyond this Universe to realize this world of Silence, the Soul world for stability, peace and certainty.
As I am practicing meditation in Brahma Kumaries Spiritual University I had understood and realized this world. In Raja Yoga meditation, not only do I journey inward to experience my essential self; I also journey upward into higher consciousness, going beyond the awareness of the physical body and the physical world. With practice I am able to perceive and experience the dimension of pure soul consciousness, beyond sound, activity and thought. In this place or state of awareness I experience complete freedom, peace, rest and comfort, as if I’ve come home to a place where I truly belong and where I can simply be.
You can also experience it.

Heart Rate Monitor Useful?
How Is A Heart Rate Monitor Useful In A Fitness Routine?
Diet and exercise are major concerns in our sedentary society, and the American public spends approximately 35 billion dollars per year on products which supposedly help with weight loss. Most of them, from exercise machines to diet pills, are not only expensive but produce poor and unsustainable results. However, a heart rate monitor is one product which is not only cheap but has been proven to be effective for people of all fitness levels.
The first wireless heart rate monitor was marketed in 1983, and many improvements have been added since then. These include coded transmission of data from chest strap to wristwatch display to avoid interference by ambient radio waves, data storage capacity, programmable training zone settings, and the ability to download stored data onto a computer.
You must maintain your heart rate within the appropriate intensity level for at least twenty minutes to achieve effective aerobic conditioning. If your heart rate is too high, your activity can be counter efficacious. For virtually all people, as your heart rate exceeds eighty-five percent (the upper limit), your workout causes muscles to function anaerobically, which creates lactic acids. This causes a burning sensation and strain in the muscles, and burns less fat. To make good progress in your fitness routine, you must maintain anaerobic muscle function. A heart monitor provides you with knowledge of what is going on in your body so you can adjust your activity level accordingly.
When you use a heart rate monitor you can be sure your exercise intensity is at a level that burns fat optimally and keeps the body working aerobically, not anaerobically. A regular exercise routine at the optimum heart rate levels can help increase your metabolism so you burn more fat even when the exercise ends. If you are a beginner, don't push yourself to the point of exhaustion, as you are more likely to stick with an exercise program if it is enjoyable.
The most important factor for losing weight is the duration of time that you exercise. To get the best results, make sure you exert yourself at a level that can be comfortably maintained for a lengthier time period. You will burn fat as long as you are maintaining a comfortable intensity in your aerobic activity. If you have previously been sedentary, start at a slow pace and try to maintain a less vigourous workout for a longer time period.
For fat burning and weight reduction, keep within 55-65% of maximum heart rate. This level consists of lower intensity, lengthier duration exercises. Increase the length of time gradually to get the greatest benefit, especially if you have not worked out for a while or are incorporating new activities into your regimen. This lower intensity helps you maintain your exercise for longer periods of time safely.
Which Monitor is Best For Me?
There are many heart rate monitors on the market to choose from. Write down your exercise objectives and find the category of monitor which best suits your individual situation.
An Aid to Weight Loss: These monitors have excellent motivational features. These include automatic target zone calculations, fitness level checking, and calories burned during your entire workout. Some also include non-fitness-related functions like time of day and sometimes even calendars. This can help you in keeping track of your progress in a weight loss program.
The Exercise Beginner or Basic User: You can buy virtually any basic model of heart rate monitor available. These inexpensive systems have only a few settings, are durable, and display your heart beats per minute.
If you are starting out in any aerobic activity whether it’s walking, swimming or cycling, these monitors will be sufficient for your needs.

Diet and exercise are major concerns in our sedentary society, and the American public spends approximately 35 billion dollars per year on products which supposedly help with weight loss. Most of them, from exercise machines to diet pills, are not only expensive but produce poor and unsustainable results. However, a heart rate monitor is one product which is not only cheap but has been proven to be effective for people of all fitness levels.
The first wireless heart rate monitor was marketed in 1983, and many improvements have been added since then. These include coded transmission of data from chest strap to wristwatch display to avoid interference by ambient radio waves, data storage capacity, programmable training zone settings, and the ability to download stored data onto a computer.
You must maintain your heart rate within the appropriate intensity level for at least twenty minutes to achieve effective aerobic conditioning. If your heart rate is too high, your activity can be counter efficacious. For virtually all people, as your heart rate exceeds eighty-five percent (the upper limit), your workout causes muscles to function anaerobically, which creates lactic acids. This causes a burning sensation and strain in the muscles, and burns less fat. To make good progress in your fitness routine, you must maintain anaerobic muscle function. A heart monitor provides you with knowledge of what is going on in your body so you can adjust your activity level accordingly.
When you use a heart rate monitor you can be sure your exercise intensity is at a level that burns fat optimally and keeps the body working aerobically, not anaerobically. A regular exercise routine at the optimum heart rate levels can help increase your metabolism so you burn more fat even when the exercise ends. If you are a beginner, don't push yourself to the point of exhaustion, as you are more likely to stick with an exercise program if it is enjoyable.
The most important factor for losing weight is the duration of time that you exercise. To get the best results, make sure you exert yourself at a level that can be comfortably maintained for a lengthier time period. You will burn fat as long as you are maintaining a comfortable intensity in your aerobic activity. If you have previously been sedentary, start at a slow pace and try to maintain a less vigourous workout for a longer time period.
For fat burning and weight reduction, keep within 55-65% of maximum heart rate. This level consists of lower intensity, lengthier duration exercises. Increase the length of time gradually to get the greatest benefit, especially if you have not worked out for a while or are incorporating new activities into your regimen. This lower intensity helps you maintain your exercise for longer periods of time safely.

Top 3 Signs That Show He's Crazy For You
What are the signs he is in love? Is there a blinking neon sign above his head? Should you watch out for heart-shaped eyes? Well, those indicators dont really exist in real life. Not literally anyway.
However, there are ways to find out whether a man is in love with you or not. If you master them all, its as good as having that person tell you personally! Here are some of the signs he is in love.
1) He introduces you to his inner circle.
Guys move around in different circles. However, its the innermost circle that really counts in this case. This exclusive group includes his family and his best buds.
One of the signs he is in love with you is when you are introduced to these people. When this happens, dont start panicking. It doesnt automatically mean hes going to ask you to marry him.
And dont be intimidated by these people either. Just be the girl he fell for in the first place.
2) He talks about marriage.
Guys will never bring up the topic of marriage with a girl hes not serious about. So when your man starts talking wedding bells or future plans, thats one of the sure signs he is in love with you.
Simple things like I wonder what our children would look like or When we get married are ways of telling you that he would like to carry your relationship on until you two are old and gray.
3) He uses the word We instead of just I.
People who are serious about each other eventually see themselves as a unit. Im not saying that two people who are in love should have all the same likes and dislikes.
Its just that guys who use we more than just I are telling the world that they are no longer bachelors. They are telling others that they are now ready to face the challenges life has to offer with their special someone by their side.
Sometimes, this shift of pronouns is a conscious effort to strengthen the relationship. But most of the time, guys change their pronoun setting without being fully aware of it.
These are some of the tell tale signs he is in love. Its not always about how often he agrees with you or how much money hes willing to spend on you that seals the deal. Sometimes, its about the little things like introducing you to his family, including you in his activities, or daydreaming about your future together.
