August 8,2014 Word For Today ( Sharing Desires) ( Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life: Proverbs 13:12)...As Ive written in the last few days about self-revelation, weve looked at sharing experiences and feeling. Today I want to talk about sharing desires. The failure to share desires is a source of much misunderstanding and frustration in any romantic relationship.

I want t reveal more of my self- an the things I hold close to my heart-to the one I love. Please bless our relationship as we strive to fulfill each others desires.
