"Love is dead between them; you can't resurrect feelings that are completely gone."
How it sounds in your head: I don't see any spark anymore. No smiles, no inside jokes, no physical affection. They're roommates at best, enemies at worst. You can't fake chemistry, and theirs is gone. I've read enough to know when love dies, it stays dead. They're just going through motions now.
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."
-- Ezekiel 36:26World's lie that love is a feeling to be managed rather than a covenant to be honored and a gift to be received.
You've witnessed years of emotional flatness. No romance movies, no date nights, no laughter. The evidence of your eyes screams that whatever they had is extinct, and modern psychology confirms feelings can't be manufactured.
Saul was BREATHING THREATS AND MURDER against Christians, heart completely hardened, on his way to arrest and kill believers. One encounter with Jesus on the Damascus road: INSTANT transformation from murderer to greatest apostle—complete heart replacement in three days.
I REFUSE the lie that dead love stays dead. IT IS WRITTEN that God replaces hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. I am under the BARAK covenant where God supernaturally protected and blessed even when natural affection failed. My parents don't need to work up feelings—they need God to give them NEW hearts, which He promises to do. IT IS WRITTEN that God makes all things new. I declare that supernatural love is flooding my parents' marriage right now. The same power that turned Saul the murderer into Paul the lover of Christ is turning stone hearts into passionate hearts of flesh. Resurrection is God's specialty. I speak LIFE over this marriage and thank God that feelings follow faith, not the other way around.
The Father doesn't require your parents to manufacture emotions they don't have—He shows up with NEW hearts as a GIFT. Like the prodigal's father who felt MORE love for the son covered in pig filth than when he left, God's love for your family INCREASES in the wasteland, and He's about to give them His own supernatural heart for each other.
