Mr. & Mrs.Sample

Made by Love

Imagine the transformation in your marriage if you viewed one another as image-bearers of God! The Lord chose to display his attributes through mankind—the final masterpiece of all he created.

How do you see the Lord’s image displayed in one another today? Value each other’s intelligence and creativity, compassion and mercy, beauty and strength, justice and integrity, discernment and wisdom, kindness and love. Despite your imperfections, the fingerprints of God are wonderful to see.

Take a moment to pray and thank God for the unique creation of your spouse. Name the qualities you value most—the ones that remind you of Jesus. Ask for a greater appreciation for who they are. Pray for eyes to see past their weaknesses and celebrate their strengths.

Trust that God has made you “very good” and delights in who you are (Gen. 1:31). He’s ready to show himself to a lost world as his character is revealed through your lives.

Lord, help us understand what it means to be made in your image. Let us cherish one another as your priceless creation. May we know you better as we grow closer to each other. Amen.
