The Love Dare - Day 19

Love Is Impossible

No matter how hard we try, we'll never be able to love our spouse with the kind of love that God wants us to. True, pure agape (unconditional) love is impossible if we only look to ourselves as the source of that love. Every single one of us are imperfect and will always fall short in our attempts to love our mate with agape love all the time. It's something that only God can do for us and through us.

Jesus said, "Apart from me, you can do nothing." (John 15:5) God's Word also tells us that He "is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us." (Ephesians 3:20)

In order for us to love the way God wants us to, we must have the Spirit of God living within us loving through us. If you've never invited Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior, today is the day you'll want to make that invitation a reality in your life. Acknowledge your failures in life (sin) and accept Jesus Christ's sacrifice as payment for those sins. Ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life as your Lord and Savior. I promise you'll never regret that decision for the rest of your life!
