.... Greet one another with a kiss of love .. 1Peter 5:14
When I first started reading this chapter I thought.. FINALLY and easy day..something that comes natural to me.... then I kept on reading........ OK........not as easy as I thought. I think back to all the times I was mad at my husband, saw his car pull up in the driveway and on purpose went to the bedroom so I wouldn't have to see him when he first came in the door. HOW RUDE that is! As I read, I thought back to the days when he and I first met, how I would wait by the door for him to come over, and be so sad when it was time for him to go. I remember the anticipation of waiting and then the excitement when he got there... I still have those same butterflies when I see him come home from work to this day - but when I am mad at him I don't treat him like I do.
The chapter spoke of the prodigal son, and how the father saw his son from a long distance and ran to him and embraced him and kissed him, even though the son had done wrong. That is what I need to do for my husband! Make him feel as though he has self worth! Make him feel welcome and loved in our home.
My love dare is to greet my husband with the love and enthusiasm that I feel for him, even when I am mad at him! Because I do love my husband and a greeting and the way I speak to him is so important in making him feel loved.
