Day 2: Love is life’s motivator For Christ’s love compels us . . . - Corinthians 5:14 Anger can fuel hatred in a man’s heart until he feels like attacking his enemy. But love can spark kindness in his heart so he lays down his life for his friend. Selfishness can drive a woman to tighten her grip and hoard her resources. But love can inspire her to open her hands and give sacrificially. Love is the purest and most powerful motivator. It gives courage to a coward, wisdom to a fool. When love invades your heart, you are empowered to endure deeper pain, willingly pay a greater cost, and run risks to your reputation for the sake of another. Love causes a soldier to lay down his life for his country, a mother to pray relentlessly for her child, and a gracious God to send His only Son to die for our sins. Love is that powerful. Paul the apostle endured beatings, intense persecution, and hardship throughout his life. He did it for one reason alone: “Christ’s love” compelled him. If love began fueling your decisions, what would it drive you to do for your marriage?
