Section 16: a godly man is a patient man
(iv) Perhaps God is correcting you for a fault, and if so, it becomes you to be patient. It may be your friend had more of your love than God and therefore God took away such a relation, so that the stream of your love might run back to him again. ...
Husbands, you are commanded to love your wives, how do you make sure that you don't start to love her too much, while still being obeident in loving her?
Wives, how do you keep from letting your love for your husband become too much?
Can you love God too much, as in, service? Is there a point when your service to God shouldn't come before your spouse and family? Can service or ministry become the thing that is loved more than God even though the service is to God?
Is this a common struggle, or am I crazy?
