It's not a performance, what I bring to the table, how much I know, how I make him look to his friends, how much I earn, if I say something stupid, doubt myself, doubt love all together... He can handle my questions on life the really hard questions and loves me just the same. Even when I'm tired of loving he still loves me... and I fall in love with him all over again. It reminds me of Christs love for us.
I've looked high and low for a man who knew God's love deeply who would love me for me. The Bible asks men to love their wives as Christ loved the church and as themselves. (Ephesians 5) He doesn't come to me with a list, I feel free to be myself and when I'm away or near I trust him and that's a first.. I trust him with my heart although I tend to keep it till marriage as I have made many heart wrenching mistakes of giving it away to men that never saw me deeply nor committed to loving me back to begin something with substance.
Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23
Until, Shalom
