A Love So Deep....& a Marital Oneness Monday Link Up

I went to a funeral this weekend.  The man that died loved me dearly and unconditionally.  I was precious to him.  He thought I was beautiful on the inside and out.  He adored me and cherished me and all he could see in me was good, even when I was unlovable and even when I doubted his love for me.

So, when he died, my heart broke.  I lost my best friend and the lover of my soul.

My soul was aching as I thought about his death, especially since he died for me.

I don't deserve his love, yet he has extended it to me.  That type of love is hard to comprehend and I'll never fully grasp it.    And because I want to please him, I want to do what he has asked of me; which is to follow and obey him.

"If you love me, you will obey what I command.  John 14:15

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.  Matthew 16:24 (NLT)

He's a great man and a magnificent man.  In fact, he is so powerful that he raised himself from the dead!

He's alive!

I can't help but adore him.

I can't help but want to follow him.

I can't help but want to do all that he has asked me to do because I am fully devoted to him.   Did you know this man has me wrapped around his little finger?  Yeah, he does, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

He has my heart and...........

HE COMPLETES ME! :)

So, as Resurrection Sunday has come to an end, I encourage you to take the time to reflect on the love he has for you and the action he took to show you that love when he hung on the cross.

And since it's Marital Oneness Monday, the day I write on marriage, I want you to think about how you can show your spouse love.  What action can you display?  What can you do to help your spouse feel loved?  Is there something the Lord is prompting in your heart?

Please share your thoughts below and perhaps what you share here will give others some ideas!
