What My Husband is Teaching Me About My God Part 1

When I have heard in the past, love your wife like Christ loves the church, I see the picture of figuring out this romance by learning from Christ.  That is true.  However, I'm amazed at what I'm learning about God by seeing how Jeff loves me and shows me this love.

Early in our relationship, I was doing the typical girl thing and griping about my hair, how I looked in a certain outfit, etc.  He just looked at me and quietly said, "When I look at you, I don't see all of that.  I just see my love."  Whoa!  And in that, God spoke to me.  Because of the grace of my Savior, when God looks at me, He sees His love. I don't have to measure up, show off, or prove myself.  I am His.

What an amazingly blessed woman I am.
