Everlasting Love

You know you are experiencing an example of Christ when your marriage relationship reflects the everlasting relationship and friendship that Christ promises us. Not because all things are perfect, but because you learn to trust one another and work through the various obstacles life deals you. 

He promises to love us in spite of our faults and failures. He promises to be trustworthy and He will never leave us nor forsake us. He does not abandon us in our time of need, on the contrary, He is there to see us through to the other side and rejoice as we discovery victory. Isn't that what our relationships are supposed to reflect? 

You know there is a divine love present beyond your own ability when troubles arise, trials hit and failures are in your face and the one who vowed to love you does not turn away, but instead turns toward you, comforts you and covers you with grace.   

Far to often in our life time we learn that relationships don't last, whether it be from examples of failed marriages, friendships or family relations. Yet this is not the guide God desire for us to follow nor the example we ought to give. He provides us with a guide which gives us hope that we have a true everlasting love, relationship and friendship, which will not fail us. This is to be the model of our marriage relationship, friendships and family relations. 

I praise God as my everlasting love and thank him for the blessed marriage and lifelong friend he has given me!
