Happy, Successful Partnership
79
Lord desires you to reach, you will find heaven below and God in your
life
Remember, my dear brother and sister, that God is love and that
by His grace you can succeed in making each other happy, as in your
marriage pledge you promised to do

Christ as their helper. What human wisdom cannot do, His grace will
accomplish for those who give themselves to Him in loving trust. His
providence can unite hearts in bonds that are of heavenly origin. Love
will not be a mere exchange of soft and flattering words. The loom of
heaven weaves with warp and woof finer, yet more firm, than can be
woven by the looms of earth. The result is not a tissue fabric, but a
texture that will bear wear and test and trial. Heart will be bound to
[113]
heart in the golden bonds of a love that is enduring
