* On earth we have a half rainbow.

* It’s a sign of God’s covenant with us to take care of us.

* In heaven it’s a full circle, with green the predominant color.

* In our marriages it’s the same.

* When someone does something for you it creates a half loop.

* It’s a sign of a covenant - “I’m here for you, I love you, etc.”

* When you express gratitude it closes the loop and creates connection.

* This is called the Love Loop where growth takes place.

* The same is true in our relationship with God.

* He deserves our thanks, and when we express it to Him it closes the loop and our spiritual lives will grow.

* Note - the word “peace” in the Bible is the Hebrew word “shalom,” which means “complete.”

* Like a wall where all the pieces fit together (complete) to bring safety.

* Apply this to the Love Loop - when there is no gratitude there is no shalom.

* There will be no peace in your relationship.
