Imagine if God's love for us was based on our performance as Christians. We would all be lost! Praise God that his ways are far above our ways. He does not love us with a worldly "love" that is based on his mood or "love" that is forever changing. Yet some of us insist upon loving our spouse this way. Why? We know that we do not want to be loved this way. We want unconditional love simply for being who we are. We don't want to be loved based on performance. Probably because we know that we all fall short - we all stumble and fall sometimes and we desire to be loved in spite of our failures. So knowing this, why do we subject our spouse to this type of conditional "love?" One word: selfishness. We have to let it go. From this point forward, strive to love your spouse as God loves. Spouse before self all the time, not just when we 'feel' like it.
