"Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:8
TODAY'S DARE:
Spend some time in personal prayer, then write a letter of commitment and resolve to your spouse. Include why you are committing to this marriage until death, and that you have purposed to love them no matter what. Leave it in a place that your mate will find it.
MY REFLECTION:

MY REFLECTION:
I know that I have waited several days to complete this dare but I wanted to really seek what God wanted me to say to my husband. Today is his birthday and I thought that it would be a nice gift to purposefully give this letter to him rather than a store bought card. I have been teaching from 1 Corinthians 13 for the last 6 weeks, so this topic of "love" has been upper and foremost in my thoughts. By teaching and doing this dare simultaneously has challenged me greatly in how I look at love from two different angles; horizontally and vertically. How the Father loves me and I him... and how I love my husband. God demonstrates pure, selfless, unconditional love in the gift, God's sacrifice, of His Son Jesus Christ. The question I must ask myself is, can I, will I and do I love like that? To be honest, I have not, but I have a desire to. So, with this in mind, I wrote my husband his letter and wrote the scripture out of 1 Corinthians 13, broke down each attribute of love and gave my definition of each one of how I wanted to love my husband. Ending with my utmost declaration and commitment to him for always!
"he delights in unchanging love." Micah 7:18
