I know sometimes it's not easy to love difficult people. Sometimes it's hard to love our spouses too, especially when there's a lot of hurt and disappointment in the relationship. I read this devotional yesterday and thought it so applicable to our mismatched marriages. We truly can't love our spouses the way Christ calls us to without His help. I thought Rick Warren did a great job dealing with this very issue and wanted to share it with you. Here's the link to the article:
Right now I'm right in the middle of one of those places that challenges me to love my sweet man sacrificially. I can only describe these changes in my sweet hubby as a midlife crisis! 🙂
Aren't those the times we're challenged the most to love someone, when they veer away from expectations and do something…different?
I am so grateful to our Lord and Savior for helping me to love this guy with all my heart and just stand by him as he works through whatever this is. I have my own theories, which I'll share with you next week.
In the meantime, have an amazing weekend! Love your family richly and worship God profoundly. He loves us so much!
Praying and believing,
Dineen
