Ability
to Love
Genesis 2:25
In Korea, the month of May is known as the month
of love. There is parents' day and children's day. There is also teachers' day because
teachers play such an important part in people's lives.
In the past, marriage was done for social or material
gain. There was also a need to produce children and carry on the family name. When
the romantic period arrived, people started to marry for love. This has given some
false understanding of marriage. We should love one another but marriage is not
just an emotion.
When Adam and Eve were together or married they
were in their most vulnerable status, free of social status or other guise. They
loved each other genuinely.
Genesis 2:25 ESV
[25] And the man and his wife were both naked
and were not ashamed.
Jesus loved us despite our sins. Jesus could see
through our actions, words and trickery. Jesus saw us truly as we are and could
still love us.
A good marriage should be based on the ability
to love under any circumstances. We need
to love our spouse in the best of times and the worst of times.
Our children teach us about the best qualities
of love. They teach us about patience, unconditional love and forgiveness.
