A year and a half into marriage and today it hit me like a ton of bricks. Marriage is teaching me to love like God! You might already know this and somewhere deep down I knew it too, but it truly came alive in me today.
We have so many imperfections, yet there is someone who loves us incessantly. Throughout our shortcomings, our defects and malfunctions He never stops loving us. He literally died so that we could have life.
When I relate this to marriage I am reminded that I too must die -DAILY! I must die to my selfish ways; realizing it's not just my life anymore, but the two became one. I must learn to be quiet at times and simply pray. I must learn to be led and not always seek to lead. Not always my will, but sometimes his.
Marriage is a unified front where two join as an alliance for a greater good. Marriage is faith, hope, trust, unity, peace, love, patience.
May your marriage today be a true reflection of God's love.
