"DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD AND HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART"-Psalm 37:4
Love sometimes needs to be extravagant. Sometimes you need to go all out, without resisting or holding back. Love needs to set aside all the "what ifs" and other technicalities and just bless because it wants too. We need to put our whole heart into our marriages and other relationships. It has too ALL, if not it will appear to be nothing. You can't reach someone with half-hearted motive, that will never win them over. Your love for your spouse should be the kind of love that wants to fulfill every dream and desire of THEIRS! Love sacrafices to put your desires aside and finds away to make them happy.I'm not talking about spending money and maxing out your credit cards (that would be awesome, but not practical or wise). There are others ways to fulfill your spouses dreams....
Gods love has met our needs and we don't always deserve it. We are so imperfect, loaded with sin, yet God forgives and loves us so much. He looks after us, provides and protects us, and if we truly delight in Him, gives us the desires of our heart. Gods love is our model. His love is what we should imitate. Your spouse may be far from perfect but they are still deserving of your whole-hearted love.
Not everything your spouse wants has to be bought at a high price. Not everything they desire costs money. They can desire your time and attention. They can long for your touch, a hug, or long kiss. They can be dreaming that you would just treat them with honor and unconditional love and respect. Your spouse may pray with all their heart that you decide to put God first and then them. Your spouses ultimate desire may just be that you think they are the most gorgeous thing that walked this planet. Dreams and desires come in all shapes, sizes and forms. They aren't always those things that are so easily tangible or replaced. Its not always materlistic things boughtt at a ridiculous price. Your love should be priceless.....their should be no set amount on what you would do for them. Your love should take notice of their every dream n desire. Love calls you to listen to what they hope for. Love calls you to remember things that bring a smile to their face. Love calls you to give when it feels inconvenient. Love calls you to constantly be thinking of their desires and possibly making them yours as well. Love shares dreams and fulfills them together.
THE DARE: WHAT IS SOMETHING YOUR SPOUSE WOULD REALLY LOVE? WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR SPOUSES DREAMS OR DESIRES? TODAY I DARE YOU TO OVERWHELM YOUR SPOUSE WITH A LOVE LIKE GODS LOVE. PUT ASIDE THE FACT THAT THEY TOO CAN BE IMPERFECT AND FORGIVE, SACRAFICE AND COMMIT TO FULFILLING THEIR DREAMS. START PRAYING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO SHOW THEM YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY DESIRE. DECIDE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN....REMEMBERING THAT SOME DESIRES CANNOT BE BOUGHT AT ANY PRICE.
PRAYING FOR ALL YOUR DREAMS AND DESIRES. PRAYING THAT AS YOU DELIGHT IN CHRIST AND VOW TO LOVE YOUR SPOUSE WITH ALL YOU HAVE, THAT GOD WILL FULFILL ALL YOUR DREAMS. GOD BLESS YOU.
