Learning to Love Recently, several people have come to me with the same dilemma. As one said, John loves me and wants to marry me. Hes a terrific catch, but I dont really love him. Should I marry him anyway and trust that love will come later? A perplexing situation, yet one over which some of you may be pondering tonight. Ask yourself, Do you think you could grow to love this person only if they met certain conditions... stayed healthy, maintained an adequate job, provided for your needs and fulfilled your expectations? If so, what you feel may be conditional love...love that survives only if certain conditions are met. What God wants to develop in both you and your partner is His unconditional love...a love that can say to the other person, No matter what you do, how much you change or what you might lose, nothing can destroy my love for you! Are you willing to risk going through whatever circumstances arise with this person to learn this kind of love? Think about Pauls prayer for you: ...be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints...what is the breadth and length and height and depth (of it); (That you may really come) to know...through experience for yourselves - the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge (without experience)... (Ephesians 3:17-19, AMP). The choice of a lifelong companion is the second most important decision of your life...yes, God will let you have your way, but He has the one best suited for you already in mind. Ask Him tonight to guide your decision.
