WHAT IS LOVE? The first element of love is RESPECT. The second is TRUST, and the third is GRATITUDE.

If you want to find out if your relationship is true, check if you have respect, trust and gratitude. Husbands/wives, parents/children, friends, when respect, trust and gratitude are lacking or gone, something really needs repairing.

Please say to each other more often: “I respect you. Trust you. I am grateful to you!” For those of us who go through trials, think about this: We are tested by impossible problems, undeserved criticisms, broken promises, and even senseless tragedies; God wants us to overcome the tests. He never allows the tests we face to be greater than the grace He gives.
