A love like the one you describe does not stand alone. It points beyond itself to the deeper love of Christ for his people. When you speak of a husband who sees, hears, provides, and speaks the written Word over his wife, you are tracing the outline of something far greater. The Lord does not merely notice his bride from a distance. He sees her as all fair, without spot or blemish, and he says so again and again. That is the kind of assurance our hearts need, not a word spoken once and then assumed, but a love that keeps declaring itself. A wife rightly needs to hear that she is loved and that she is beautiful in the eyes of her husband. In the same way, the church needs to hear Christ say that he delights in her, not because she has earned it, but because he has made her clean.
The hope you write about rests on something more solid than affection or even marriage. You mention the Lamb's book of life and the promise that Jesus will never leave or forsake us. That promise is the ground beneath every other word. We were once without Christ, without hope, without God in the world. That is the saddest picture of mankind. But the resurrection of Jesus Christ has changed everything. It has given us a living hope, not a dead wish. Because he rose from the dead, the promise of eternal life is sure. The hope we have is for an inheritance that cannot be corrupted, cannot be defiled, and will not fade away. That is what you are reaching toward when you say the best days are yet to come.
Yet there is also a warning woven through Scripture, and it matters here. Christ looked at a church that had many works and much discernment, but he said, I have this against you: you have left your first love. He told them to remember the days of freshness, the courting days, the excitement of love when it first blossomed. So while you rejoice in the love you share and in the hope of glory, do not let the cares of this life choke out that first love for Jesus. Return to it. Sit with your cup overflowing with the consciousness of his presence. Pour out your heart to him. The love you have for your wife is meant to be a reflection, but the source is abiding in Christ. Cut off from the vine, we can do nothing. Abiding in him, fruit comes naturally.
Your words are full of gratitude, and that is right. You thank Jesus for giving his life so that you may have life in him. That is the heart of everything. The standard is Christ himself, pure and holy, which eliminates all of us from ever earning our place. But because he laid down his life, the hope we have is not in our own goodness. It is in his. And because his word cannot fail, we wait patiently for the blessed hope of his appearing. The early believers looked for his return in their own generation, and the waiting itself was part of God's design. So wait with patience. Continue to speak the Word over your home. Continue to lift one another up in prayer. And keep looking toward the day when all trials are over and we are there in the glory of his presence.
That is the future you are beginning to taste now. The love you describe, the daily service, the hugs and kisses, the speaking of Scripture to one another, these are small but real glimpses of the wedding feast to come. Let them point you forward, not just to a city on this earth, but to the new Jerusalem and the marriage supper of the Lamb. The One who has written your name in the book of life is the One who will come for you. And when he comes, what will he see? He will see a bride made ready, not because she was never dark or ordinary, but because he has made her beautiful. His love is the cause. Your love is the echo. Keep listening to the echo, and keep turning toward the voice.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
