Does Your Spouse See Jesus in You? If Not, You Need to Be Matched Up To the Maker of the Universe. (394 hits)
Becoming like Christ requires sacrificial love
It's 5:21 in the morning, and the alarm goes off. I roll over and hit the snooze button. At 5:24, my two-year-old, Ian, enters the room and approaches the bed. I pretend to still be asleep so he'll walk to the other side and crawl in with Anne (Failure #1).
I pull the covers tight to subtly tell Anne and Ian to keep it down (Failure #2). I realize he's not going to be quiet, so I slither out of bed, pull out some muffins and milk for Ian and then watch whatever is on TV at 5:30 a.m. I decide I'll get Anne's coffee in a little bit (Failure #3).
In just seven minutes, I've failed to show my wife love in the same way Jesus loves me.
