Love Fulfills Dreams
God's gift to us in His Son Jesus Christ was extravagant. God could have devised any plan He wanted, but chose extravagance to pour His love and grace on us.
When was the last time you showed extravagance to your spouse? Was it yesterday at Christmas? Did you give your spouse that one thing he/she has been talking about since the beginning of the year? Or has your response always been, "We can't afford it." Those are easy words to say.
However extravagance always costs. It always demands sacrifice. Extravagant love doesn't always demand a financial cost, however. Perhaps the thing your mate most desires is your undivided attention, your uninterrupted love, your respect in front of the children or your extended patience.
Dream with your spouse about what the Lord wants for you and your family. Dream big! Dream with God-sized dreams! Begin submitting yourself to God's desires for your spouse. You may just find that you can provide that extravagant gift your spouse has been wanting after all.
