Loving Your Wife Now.

Check out this rad videooo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH_OBesCINo&feature=youtu.be

"What if you loved your wife so much that you would do absolutely anything to put a smile on her face?
What if you did everything you possibly could to love your wife as much as God loves her?
What if you stopped what you are doing right now and started thinking and making the steps towards being the whimsical, Godly Husband that your wife will deserve?

And what if you started all of that NOW!? Before you even met her!?"

So, Mike Glenn is the Senior Pastor at Brentwood Baptist Church in Brentwood, TN. This guy is like a celeb to me y'all. This summer I went to their Tuesday night contemporary service called Kairos. Two of my closest friends, Bethany and Kaissling, and I would go each week. I'm so thankful to be blessed to call them my sisters in Christ. Anywho, Tuesdays were our favorite day of the week simply because we couldn't wait to soak in some of this awesome mans wisdom. One night Mike was talking about the married couples relationships and said "Marriage is 100-100. The husband gives everything he has, and the wife gives everything she has. Anything less isn't enough."

After I watched this video a few times through I imagined myself as the woman on the other side of a man pursuing Christ like the guy in this video talks about, and I also imagined myself as the "husband" if you will. What if I began to live a life pursuing Christ, so much so, that I dropped everything to prepare myself righteously for my future husband? I can't even put my admiration for this guy into words. 

We worry so much about the "here and now" that we often stray from what's most important, the "then and how." We need to let God pursue us first. There's no way we can keep chasing after the things of this world and pursue God at the same time. My wish is that we look more and more like Christ every day.  

"How radically different would you live your life if you lived it in love?"

Live a life filled with love,
