A wise man once said, "The best gift you can give to your children is to love each other." These are challenging words to all married couples.
Books have been written and
innumerable sermons have been preached to explain and
assist us in developing our unending commitment of Godly
love to each other in marriage. So how are we
doing?
The exchange of vows does not always
mean that a commitment of love has taken place.
Likewise, the longevity of marriage may be an indicator
of accomodation rather than depth of love.
Jesus spoke concerning love saying,
"This is my commandment, that you love one another
as I have loved you. Greater love has no one
than this, that someone lay down his life for his
friends" (John 15:12,13).
It is one thing to speak of loving
commitment. It is quite another thing to have that
commitment of love. Praise God for the example of
His Son Jesus who taught with His life how we are to
love each other. In Jesus we see that standard,
method, and heart attitude of love that each of us must
measure ourselves by.
May we be so in love with Jesus that
we set ourselves aside so that we are free to love
others sacrificially.
