The first tool of intelligent love could not be anything other than the knife, whose usefulness is to cut what is left, what is no longer useful and divide something bigger into smaller pieces. In addition, it can be used to injure and even kill. Let’s see what this means in someone’s love life.

There is a sacred text in the Book of Joshua that says:

“At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.” (Joshua 5:2,3)

Circumcision is the cutting of the foreskin of the male organ, a mark that God determined as a sign of their Covenant with Him.

This symbolises one of the main functions of this tool that God gives us to circumcise our hearts. Jesus also brought this circumcision to us, not in the flesh, but most importantly in the spiritual—the cutting off of our desires and sin.

Jesus once said: “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” (Matthew 5:30)

He didn’t speak literally, He referred to what leads us in our hearts to sin. That is, it is a much more painful cut because it is not done while still a baby and therefore will not even remember the pain he felt. But it’s a cut we must make every day in our lives: To cut off our desires that are harmful to our lives. Many of these desires, whims and impulses arise during a fight in a relationship that makes the person want to attack, curse and do everything their heart is feeling. Why? Because the heart is not circumcised, it is not cut or pruned by the will of God.

A person who has a covenant with God would not act like that.

The will of the flesh is what human impulses and emotions make. For example, a man wants to have other women, but God’s will is that you be a man who is faithful to your woman, just as you want her to be faithful to you.

So, cut off what is hurting your relationship. You must identify specific ways that are not good for your love life and nip the traumas in the bud. God gave you this knife to cut them off.
