~~Day 29~ Love's Motivation~~
Render service with a good attitude, as to the Lord and not to men. —Ephesians 6: 7 HCSB
We may not always feel motivated to demonstrate love to our spouse. And when we do express love, they may not always be getting the message. We can’t rely solely on the actions of another imperfect person to determine how much (if any) love we show them. The love for our spouse should honor the Lord with our devotion and sincerity. The love you demonstrate in marriage should actually have one chief objective: loving and honoring the Lord with devotion and sincerity. Love that keeps God as its primary focus is unlimited in the heights it can attain. When you’re not motivated to do it for them, do it for Him.
~~TODAY’S DARE~~
BEFORE YOU SEE YOUR SPOUSE AGAIN TODAY, PRAY FOR THEM BY NAME AND FOR THEIR NEEDS. WHETHER IT COMES EASY FOR YOU OR NOT, SAY “I LOVE YOU”, THEN EXPRESS LOVE TO THEM IN SOME TANGIBLE WAY. GO TO GOD IN PRAYER AGAIN, THANKING HIM FOR GIVING YOU THE PRIVILEGE OF LOVING THIS ONE SPECIAL PERSON – UNCONDITIONALLY, THE WAY HE LOVES BOTH OF YOU.
How will this change of motivation affect your relationship and reactions?
What does this inspire you to do?
What does it inspire you to stop doing?
