تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
الرسالة هنا للازواج، هناك حب مضحي فى هدفنا وهدف فى تضحيتنا. نحن نتخلي عن انفسنا لكى نحب زوجاتنا. و يسوع هو مثالنا هنا، فقد تخلى عن كل شئ. و ماذا كان هدفه حين ذاك؟ هو أن يجعلنا مقدسين امام الله. و دوافعنا يجب ان تكون متساوية فى التضحية والنقاء في التنازل عن حقوقنا لنبارك ونحب زوجاتنا. كما يذكرنا بولس فى افسس 21:5، نحن ايضا خاضعين، ولكن هذا لا يعنى ان نكون ضعاف الشخصية، بل ان نخدم ونضحى لكى نبارك ونجلب المجد للمسيح.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
For husbands, there is sacrificial love in our purpose with our wives, and purpose in our sacrifice as we give up our wills to help our wives as they are molded to become more like Christ by the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18) . We are to give up ourselves to actively love our wives. Jesus is our example here, and he gave up everything to serve and bless us (Mark 10:45). His example demonstrates our purpose in our relationship with our wives. Just as Jesus sought to make us holy and beautiful in God's sight, so also we should love our wives with that same purpose. Our motives are to be equally as sacrificial and pure in surrendering our rights to bless and love our wives (Philippians 2:6-9). As Paul reminds all believers, and specifically husbands in their relationship with their wives, that we, too, are to submit ourselves to bless our wives. This does not mean, however, spinelessness; it means service and sacrifice to bless and bring glory to Christ in how we love and serve the ladies in our lives!

My Prayer...
Holy God, help our families to be full of love. May this loving service begin with me, today, in my family. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
