Here is a great little nugget from this week.
On day 10 of the Love Dare it is talking about love and what love really is and why we love. It says how if we say we love our spouse because of some certain quality then when those qualities disappear so will your love. True love is not based off of that stuff, it is unconditional. The line that really grabbed me in this day was “love is not determined by the one being loved but rather by the one choosing to love”. Man I love that! As I sat and thought about that statement, I become more in awe of God. God is love, and He first loved us. There is nothing in us that makes us loveable, but because of who He is, we are loved unconditionally. He chooses to love us and to reach out to us and redeem us and bring us closer to Him. What a loving God! We are to love the same way. We should love our spouse because we choose to love them not because of who or what they are for us or to us. We let the power of the love of God emanate through us and push us every day into a deeper loving commitment with each other.
