The Attraction of Genuine
Concern.
This week I have been autobiographical. I have
shared with you the pain in the early years of our marriage, and I have
told you how I discovered the teachings of Jesus and how they changed my
marriage. The idea that true greatness is found in serving others seldom
makes its way into a troubled marriage, but when it does it profoundly
changes the behavior.
You see, if I believe that it is more blessed to
give than to receive; that serving my spouse is more important than being
served; that my best end is found in making her life better, then it will
affect the way I treat her. When she sees this attitude expressed in my
behavior she knows that something has changed. If I am consistent, then
service becomes a lifestyle.
Most wives and husbands are attracted to someone who
shows genuine concern for them. The person who follows the example of
Jesus - in serving others, is on the road to greatness and to a growing
marriage relationship.
