31 Day Marriage Resetনমুনা

I hope you’ve prayed for your spouse more times than you’ve gotten frustrated with them this week.

•••

When we were at our worst, Jesus prayed for us. When our sin had Jesus crucified, He looked up to heaven and said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34).” Can we just close our eyes and take ten seconds to soak that in? You guys, that’s love. He could’ve been mad, He could’ve cursed us, He could have climbed off of that Cross, but He didn’t. He prayed for us. Why? Because He loves us. He has a covenant with us that means more to Him than our sinful choices. He didn’t lash out at us and tell us how bad we are or how much we had just messed up, He prayed for us. This. This is the most faithful display of love. When your spouse frustrates you, how do you react? I think we can all work on trying to react a little more like Jesus. With prayer. God help us! Amen!

Ask God to help you in times of frustration to reflect Jesus.
