Laugh Through Tiers!
"Clothe
yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and
patience. Bear with each other and
forgive one another if any of you
has a grievance."
Colossians 3: 12-13
During his speech at their wedding reception,
a groom wiped his eyes and said, “Ladies and
gentlemen, it’s been a very emotional day.
Even the wedding cake is in tiers.”
Most marriages have their share of tears,
but we must determine that hardships will
only bring us closer to the one we love. It’s
a decision we make. When a couple faces
emotional times, they can turn to the Lord
and lean on one another.
The Bible says marital love is modeled after
the love Christ feels for His Bride—the Church
(Ephesians 5:25). Christ doesn’t love because
of our merits. He knows we’re sinners.
He loves us just
because He loves us.
He gave Himself for us, unworthy as we
are. In the same way, the love of Christ
in us seeks to serve, not to be served.
Our love in marriage must embrace all the
faults and failures we bring to the relationship.
Christ loves us as we are. Ask God to enable
you to love your spouse as Christ loves you.
That’s a love that never ends.
"A happy marriage is the
union of two good forgivers."
Ruth Graham
