I love you and I need you in my life

This is another amazing love story and of course with a moral.

Once there was a married couple who found themselves quarrelling so much and being so unable to adjust with one another that they found themselves in the verge of a divorce. However, the judge who was to hear their case was a very kind and good hearted fellow and he counselled them a lot before the day of the final hearing.

The night before the divorce, the husband and the wife could not sleep at all. They had a number of things going on in their minds. The husband ruminated over the incidents during the counselling and looked back to the day they were in love and newly married. The wife pondered how to get the divorce finalized because the judge looked bent on persuading them to forget their differences and stay together.

The next day that is the D’day, they reached the Judge’s office. He said, “Before I give my decision, I want you to do one last thing.” He handed both of them some sheets of paper and continued, “Both of you should know the grievances you have for each other. Maybe, you will realize that you should have given your relation a second chance.” They were given an hour to write down their complaints against the other. Both of them started writing. It was like a competition where each was writing as many flaws of the other as they could. They took additional sheets and extra time.

Finally, when they kept gave their sheets to the Judge, he did not even look at it. He handed the wife’s sheet to the husband and vice versa and asked them to read. After a couple of minutes, the wife got up and hugged her husband. There were tears in her eyes and they did not get divorced.

Do you what was on the sheets of paper? The wife had taken utmost care to mention each of her grievances in a chronological order with the dates. There were complaints like: He forgot our anniversary; he came late and did not take me to the movie; he doesn’t keep his shoes in the proper place; he messes up the whole place and I have to do all the cleaning.... But in the husband’s sheet, he had just repeated one sentence: I love you and I need you in my life.

In the Bible, God is referred to as the husband and the people are referred to as the Bride. This is what happens many times in our lives, with God and with people around us. When we are blessed we don’t acknowledge His blessings but when we go through bad times we start cursing God and go astray. We lose faith in Him and want to throw Him out of our lives. But despite all this, His answer is always the same, just like the husband’s in the story: I LOVE YOU AND I NEED YOU IN HEAVEN.

Relationships don’t strengthen when we keep counting the mistakes that the other person makes and keep blaming each other. Relationships strengthen when we forget all the bad things that would have happened between us and just know one thing that we love the other person and need them in our lives. This message goes to say: Let’s acknowledge the love and friendship of all those around us.

You are all precious to me.

God bless you.
