Continuous Faithfulness!
As we hug I can feel the depth of her love. After forty one years I know in my heart that her love is unconditional. I am asked so many times by others how to have a successful marriage? How to be soulmates in a world that teaches everything but that? Love is an exercise worthy of our time and fortitude. In greek mythology Sisyphus was a king that was so much of a tyrant that the Gods condemned him to push a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down. He was sentenced to do so for eternity. Many people see marriage and love as a rock they are burdened to roll. However, lets reimagine Sisyphus. What if he was happy because he had a rock to roll? Our lives depend on love. We were made to love and to do so unconditionally. Only the world teaches us to move in a different direction. Love is about continuous faithfulness. Christ love is continuous faithfulness. As should be ours. I think the main reason so many people love their dogs so much is because they feel like dogs are the only being that will always practice unconditional love. Sad as that is, I hold it to be true. When asked why she didn’t look for that love in another human or in God a friend replied; “God will not lick me in the face and be happy to see me, when I get home.” We should feel unconditional love from others. If my wife’s hugs feel amazingly unconditional… I can’t wait to hug my Savior.
I Love You! Perry
