Love's Motivation
Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not me..." Ephesians 6:7 NIV
Sometimes we find ourselves loving out of duty or out of the desire to have favorable conditions. This kind of love will never last. It's temporary, conditional and selfish.
Our love we have for one another, particularly our spouse, needs to be motivated by the love we have for Christ Himself. If we don't love Christ with all that we are, we can never love someone else with Christ's love.
When your spouse isn't very loveable, just remember that God has called you to love no matter what. When you don't feel as though you have any love to offer, choose to allow God to love through you. He is your source and supply. When you love like this, no longer are the imperfections of your mate dictating the level of love experienced within your home, instead the all-powerful, all-loving Almighty God is the eternal spring to which you go for replenishing love within your marriage.
