I absolutely LOVE today's question from Kim at To Know Him. The question is "How does it make you feel to know that God has designated you as the primary instrument to reflect His love for your spouse?"
I can't BEGIN to tell you how privileged that I am to have a husband so wonderful as Rob. I am by no means telling you that I have him on a high pedestal that I lose sight of the fact that he is a human being and will make mistakes in this life. What I am telling you is that the Lord blessed me with His perfect choice in a mate for me. Rob is everything that I am not. He completes my life. Our hearts were so skillfully knitted together by the Lord that no matter what this life could bring our way, the threads can never be broken. There is only one thing that can pull us apart and that will be our passing into eternal life with the Lord. Because of all of these things, I love Rob with every fiber of my being. I am honored that the Lord chose me to show His love to Rob. I am also a human being and am imperfect, but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me...therefore, I can love Rob though the Lord, when my flesh (on it's own) may not choose to love. Our God is omnicient, omnipresent and knew what my heart needed when He crafted Rob in his mother's womb. He foreknew that we would be together. I could write for countless hours on the intricate details of things that the Lord has done throughout our lives that would prepare us to be together and to relate to what each other would experience both together and as individuals. Our lives are testimonies to the extreme sovreignty of our Lord Jesus Christ.
