In light of the recent week of stirring emotions, I am noticing the hashtag lovewins. I am perplexed by this statement, and I agree with it. Love did win. 2000 years ago. On a cross. When Jesus gave his life to take our sins upon himself, past-present and any future that we would ever commit. That is true love. Why did this have to happen? In getting a perspective on this I thought about the time before I was married.
When my husband and I were dating, we lived an hour away from each other. As things got serious and we fell in love, that hour seemed like 10 hours away. We were able to get about 2 days a week together due to jobs and our schedules. The rest of the time we were separated from each other. The longer we dated the harder it was on those days we didn't get to see each other. Finally, when it just seemed so hard to continue always leaving each other and not being able to have all the time together we wanted, he asked me to marry him. We could have ended it and gone our own ways but love won and we chose to make a commitment to it. That was the pivotal moment when we decided that we wouldn't have to stay apart forever.
God is holy. He cannot reside in sin. That's why we were separated from him. If you're like me, you know how agonizing it feels to be separated from your true love. Something would have to be done. A marriage-A cross.
We now have only have one goal here before we get to heaven. Love. Persue a love for God and a love for each other. Everything else is white noise.
