Abiding
and steadfast love is devotion that never changes though circumstances
come and go. We hear the saying "through thick and thin", we've spoken
the vows "till death do us part" - and all those conditions that may
(and do) arise in the course of living.
Yet when tried and tested, some of us falter to the point of dissolution
of the marriage. Where, then, was the commitment? How and when did love
become "conditional"? And what gives anyone the right to make such a
selfish choice?
When we know God, we get a glimpse of His love through the grace and mercy extended to us daily. Some of us realize how undeserving we are, and the thought of His unspeakable kindness toward us makes us grateful, and humble. God doesn't change, He cannot lie, and His love endures forever. That's abiding and steadfast loving. (I call it fierce!)
As believers, we are to mirror God's image, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Word of God gives us clear descriptions of His character. A favorite passage of Scripture is found in Hebrews 13:8:
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever."
He is unchangeable. So is His love. Let us look well to the vows we make to one another. Remember Who we represent as we come together in matrimony. Allow God's love to permeate and saturate your relationship. Agree with one another to remain solid through the trials. Seek the Lord together in prayer, and watch Him guide you from glory to glory, victory to victory!
May our life stories be a testimony of ever increasing faith, and unconditional, unchanging love for generations to come.
