Day 19 - Love is Impossible

Let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
—1 John 4:7

You really can't do it right without God's help.

If you're doing the daily dares, really following through, then I have no doubt you are making progress. And I know God is helping you. But you haven't seen anything yet.

See, while you're just doing normal stuff, you are opening the door for God to do amazing! Him helping you love your wife better is just the beginning. I know, some of it still hasn't been easy, but it's just normal relationship building. The real kicker is what will happen when God observes a true selflessness in you and anoints your normal into supernormal.

That's today's focus. Some of you may have seen it already. Some of you are still working on the proper attitude behind going through with the dares. And some of you don't even realize it's already there. Look for it the next few days. See if God isn't already at work in your heart, in your wife's heart and in your marriage.

TODAY’S DARE

Look back over the dares from previous days. Were there some that seemed impossible to you? How is your attitude? Are you just doing the dares but your attitude is still fouling it up?

Have you realized your need for God to change your heart and to give you the ability to love? ...at all time? ...in all situations? ...regardless of how much love you feel coming back?

Ask God to help you with your attitude. Ask Him to anoint your normal so that it becomes supernormal in your marriage. And ask him to show you where you stand with Him, and ask for the strength and grace to settle your eternal destination and make sure your wife's is settled as well.
