Laughter Through Tiers

September 11, 2024

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, NIV

 Recommended Reading: Colossians 3:12-21

During his speech at the 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 us because of our merits. He knows we’re sinners. He loves us just because He loves us (Deuteronomy 7:7-8). He gave Himself for us, unworthy as we are. In the same way, the love of Christ within 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.
