People “fall in love” because they want to. When you “fell in love” with your wife, you were not struck with some external force such as Cupid’s arrow. Neither were you dazzled by some external influence such as Love Potion
9. The romantic feelings you enjoyed, which you claim to have now lost, were of your own making. They were created in your own heart. They, like your other feelings, were largely the result of your thoughts and ways. You “fell in love” with your spouse as a result of what you did to, for, and with her and as a result of what you told yourself about her. You created those romantic feelings, and by God’s grace, you can make them come back.

without much secret converse with God, and nothing will make
amends for the want of it." - Berridge.
********************************************

Portion of a VISION given to JOHN G. LAKE (-1920):

Reaching for the Bible, he opened to the book of Acts, ran his finger
down over the second page, that portion where the Spirit of God
came down from heaven. Proceeding through the Book of Acts to
its great outstanding revelations and phenomena, he said. . .

"This is Pentecost as God gave it through the heart of Jesus.
STRIVE for this. CONTEND for this. Teach the people to PRAY
FOR THIS. For this, and this alone, will meet the necessity of the
human heart, and this alone will have the power to overcome the
forces of darkness.' When the Angel was departing he said, 'Pray.
Pray. Pray. Teach the people to pray. Prayer and prayer alone,
much prayer, persistent prayer, is the door of entrance into the
heart of God." -END OF VISION.
