1 54 P a g e Chapter 10 How to treat a lady? Love I ve been crazy in love. Made a vow to preach for God above. Silly things we do in life. Even the Bible says men should find a wife. We strive hard to live in the land of milk and honey. Sometimes we get lost in search of all the money. We spend our time filling bags of gold. Years pass and we slowly grow old. Never the less we were meant to care for. To God and others that we love and adore. For Valentine s Day don t think of who you are or what you desire. Let your heart and mind grow in a love with God with a passionate fire. Seek God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Know in God s word it s full of love which you shall find. Come on, accept Jesus in your heart and win. Love the LORD JESUS CHRIST, AMEN & AMEN

2 55 P a g e Treating a lady right is very important. A lot of women look to the way a man treats his mother to decide if she wants to pursue a man in marriage. If a man is brutal to his mother, it gives an idea that he may not be so kind to his wife. For me I was raised very well, having an excellent mother and I realize now much of the foundation for my life was inspired by the love of a mother. My mother instilled some very strong beliefs in me that I value to this day. My mom used to rub my back at night. Now I go around rubbing others backs too or those who are receptive to it, but you have to be careful because not everyone is receptive to the love s warm touch. My mom waits at doors until I open them for her knowing I will do exactly that. My mom used to tell me when you go to a person s house help them out especially in the kitchen and with clean up as well. My mom also led by example, as she served us at meals. I later picked up on this trait and now I serve others at meals as well especially in church. In life I feel there is more to love than just love. Love is something precious that must be maintained, nourished, and treated well or love will slowly rot and fall apart. It s like the rankings of these sites if I simply build sites and leave them the rankings will eventually fall. Even some of my smaller sites rankings have slipped on a serious downward plunge because I have not maintained the sites. If I work on the site and put more love into it, or keep it changing the rankings can stay or they can excel. Not only that the sites require outside links to them to keep the rankings up. Without doing anything your once beautiful site will falter and fall out of the system only to end up on page 100,000 and never be found. Love is the same exact way. Love is like a fine tuned automobile that runs great like new but after time, unless you maintain it the performance will seriously diminish. Just like that car the love will grow cold and not run at all. Sadly in the game of life things were the same. God simply wanted love, but the love grew sour, perhaps overnight or perhaps in due time. God remains faithful to love, but even God s love has limitations and restrictions that we don t often want to think about. That love can be lost and when it does, love hurts. I was talking to a friend and we both discussed our feelings when we fall from God s love. We know we are in the wrong, but still we do wicked things. Decades ago I used to look at pornography, and even recently too. This chapter was originally called, The Enemy Tried to Creep In, Serious Warnings! I had spoken in the old chapter about pornography and how much I had hated it. As time grew, and loneliness prevailed with no love from a woman, I felt needs. Those needs were sexual needs and it became impossible to deal with. The Bible states: (Genesis 2:18) And the

3 56 P a g e LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. God did not mean for us to be alone. So God set it up from the beginning of time that when man was first put here on the earth that though man was alone he was not to be alone forever. See while Adam was alone in the Garden of Eden giving names to all the animals, he discovered every animal had a mate. The animals in God s creation were fine, but man was more intelligent, and thus capable of sin. See Satan was already in the Garden of God waiting for just the right opportunity. Later when Eve arrived on the scene, the plot would begin to thicken. We all know from this world paradise did not last long. Salvation at that time was simple, in that while every tree in the garden Adam and Eve could freely eat, only one tree bore poisonous fruit. It was a simple rule and that was to stay away from the cursed thing. (Genesis 2:17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Often in life we want what we cannot have. I find this so true even in my own life especially in relationships. Women come and women go and though some I remain friends with, there are boundaries I learned not to cross. I learned a lot of things and realized that it is not easy to find and maintain a relationship with a woman. That s the thing with God; we can never love too much. You can never give God too much affection and appreciation. To be honest I love to write of relationships because I am a very romantic person. I ve found that love conquers and stands strong against hatred, and for that reason Satan tries his all to destroy it. See love is one of the key ingredients to walking through heaven s gates victoriously. Without love the Bible tells us: (1Corinthians 13:1-3) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing. Clearly the Bible explains that though we have tongues, prophecy, understand mysteries and all knowledge, having faith, feeding the poor, and even allowing our body to be executed for God, if we do not have love, we are nothing. Some people may boast, I have grace, while others boast, look at my works, how many can boast, look at how I loved! Love s Only Boundary is Eternity Love has healed more wounds than a doctor or pill ever cured; love costs no money just a simple word. Love mends wounds, love quenches fires, love heals destruction, and love silences all liars. Love is the power that can make a King great, love smashes the strongholds love extinguishes hate. A fire burns in my heart aching for you, but love only works when love involves two. Love can be sent but it has to be received, love must be true, or no one will believe. Without love I am nothing, I cease to exist; love is a warm hug, not a strike with the fist. Love overcomes the tempest, it survives the storm, love crosses the void, love keeps the heart warm. Love conquers all when battles rage, love was my defender that released me from my cage. Love knows no boundaries, no limits no restrictions, without love our life is just fiction. Love is the power crushing evil s grips; love can come as a kiss from the lips. This love I don t know, I have experienced never, but in the love I have with Jesus I ll live forever. Amen

4 57 P a g e Sometimes love must be turned around! LOVE There it is, Love in a nutshell, not a sugar coated lie, not smashed or cast into hell For love doesn t have to reason, True love is precious must love ever ask why? For Love are the feathers, of the birds of the air. Flying high in the heavens, without worry or care. Love extends to the heavens, love lives here in this earth. Love can move mountains, but sometimes love hurts! Love stands reason love takes a chance. Just love me with love and forever, romance. One Day We Will Meet On paper I can write about love real well, but the harsh reality is love is hard to find. Love that last a lifetime or love that is true is nearly impossible to find. If you are seeking love and unable to find it all you have to do is look up. God created one true love, that love of course bears the name, LORD Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the glue to keep our lives together. Jesus is the shelter to withstand the tempest of stormy weather. God holds the key to the doorway of your heart. GOD is the healer to giving you a fresh start. God fits our heart like fingers to a glove. God fills your need when your heart is empty of love. When your heart is turned over and the love all runs out. Satan has lied filling your heart with doubt. Then Jesus is the answer he lifts burdens and heals pain. When you are all out of answers look for Jesus with the key for your chain. God can do all things, he is strong God is wise. To end all the evil and crush Satan s lies. If you wanted a river, but only found a stream. Hold to God in promise, he will stand strong and true, with answers to your dream. Love is like an ocean a sea of shining glass. It stands strong indeed forever, and life s problems sink to the bottom, and forgotten they will pass. My dear true love I don t know you, though someday we might meet. But when this world is over, I ll hold your hand on that golden street. AMEN

5 58 P a g e Like it or not, as a man you are the night in shining armor and prince charming As a man we should do what is right and treat women like ladies. Here are some pointers all men should do when treating a lady properly: Men should always open doors for ladies. This includes doors to buildings, vehicles and more The man should also help the lady get out of the vehicle even taking her hand so she does not fall. Men should put the toilet seat down after using it and keep it in that position. Men should do everything they can to keep a woman happy. Men ought to love themselves as they love their wives. Be respectable If the woman does not have a coat offers her yours. A man should freeze at the wife s expense and not complain. Chivalry is not dead. Men should come prepared and have extra things that the ladies might need just in case. The idea is that men should keep the ladies comfortable and happy. Men can in fact cook and make good food. Make your wife a meal and pray with her at meals. Be a man in all areas of life and love her. Make up new things as you go along to help the young lady of your life. Romance does not begin in the bedroom. Romance can start anywhere and lead all kinds of places. Be experimental after all love holds no boundaries. Be especially nice: Find something good about the lady of your life to compliment her on but it must be real and you must be honest. None of these tactics work if they are not from the heart or if it is not true love. Love is not temporary. No rather love is forever! Men should never be rude. I learned a better tactic is to excuse yourself than to do certain manly things that or make sure the area is well ventilated and noisy before polluting the air. Men should learn to take the blame. If a woman does something wrong and no one knows the wiser tell the concerned company that it was your fault. Never allow the woman to look foolish. While at a supper table and it is in your power a ladies cup should never go below half full. Try to go a step further and pull out the chair for your beloved. Help her with taking off her coat. Be a man and work for a living. Try doing things for the lady if you know how to. Do manly tasks for her without complaint. A man should never use derogatory remarks when talking to a lady or about her, or when describing her to others. Being a man you can use some or all of these tips. Even though women don t always want a man whose too nice they do want one with respect. So in taking this advice just know that you can be a strong guy and the good guy all at the same time.
