How to find true joy in loving others

July 8

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

I’ve mentioned before that one of the great things about being a pastor is having the opportunity to counsel couples who are preparing for marriage. And when I talk with them, I always give them what I believe is the biblical definition of love: two givers trying to out-give one another.

That’s because if we enter marriage thinking about what we’re going to get out of it, we’re never going to be satisfied. But if we see our marriage as an opportunity to give instead of get, our love for one another will grow and we’ll find deep and lasting satisfaction in our relationship with our spouse.

Love is giving yourself daily to another person in your life. It’s not some cheap, shallow emotion or feel-good moments of warm fuzzies. The love described in the Bible is fervent, forgiving, and forever-enduring. That kind of love never fails.

So where do we find a pattern for that kind of love? By looking at Jesus. Jesus didn’t die for us because of some momentary sentiment. Jesus died because He loved us all the way to death. Love others – your spouse, first and foremost – with that kind of love. Focus on giving instead of getting and you’ll find true joy in your relationships!

EXPERIENCE TRUE JOY IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH LOVING OTHERS BY GIVING INSTEAD OF GETTING.
