‘Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.’ Philippians 2:3-4(NLT)
What are your husband’s deepest needs?
Often our husband’s “love language” is different than ours. Sometimes we need to lay ourselves and our own desires down to love our husband well. What is God asking you to lay down in your marriage? Ponder for a moment what would make your husband’s life easier and bring peace to his heart.
Faith-Filled Idea:
It’s a counter-cultural concept in our society to consider others before ourselves. But the message of Christ is to die to ourselves so that we will be able to live for Him. In doing so, we are able to love others through His power. Consider your husband’s needs and how you can unselfishly serve him through the love of Christ. Choose a particular need to meet today.
Today’s prayer:
Lord, please show me how to surrender myself to You and to love my husband selflessly. Bring peace to my heart in the knowledge that I can consider his needs first because YOU are the one who meets all my needs according to YOUR glorious riches!
