(Bella~Mella & One Fine Man)Love Him Like No One Else
In January I shared a very intimate word that the Lord had given me to prepare my heart for what I knew not then. However, soon the reason for the preparation became quite obvious. The word the Lord spoke to my heart regarded loving my husband. HIS specific words were these, “Love him like no one else.”
(Go here to read the back story.)
Today I love my husband more than I ever have. I love him more now than the day I walked the aisle of a church in Georgia to stand at his side.
I love my husband more now than I did in the hours in which he was my labor coach (hee, hee, hoo, hoo). At the birth of our third child, I will never forget my husband’s compassionate gaze and his words, “You are my hero.” (‘So glad he did not say, “You are my hee, hee, hero!)
I love my husband more now than I did in the spring of our love. Besides even in the season of spring, storm clouds swirl and hard rains fall.

One summer our love suffered a season of drought. We sought shelter from the scorching heat and once again the Creator crafted something beautiful from dust. Our hearts could love again.
I love him more now than I did last year or even at the beginning of this year. Love grows when the weeds are pulled. Love grows when you water it daily. And love grows when its face is toward the SON.
Because I am loving him like no one else, Love has grown.

Update: One Fine Man is no longer using his crutches. He is limping but walking! The skin graft is almost completely closed up. He is back to work 100%. He has been riding a bike for exercise. He remains the ONE FINE MAN who has my back and holds my hand.

Love this post about loving him like no other. I'm learning how to show my love to my man. :) I'm a slow learner. He's a great guy. Funny. Easy going. A wonderful provider and father. Always good to focus on the positive! Looking to pull out weeds as I recignize them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet visits!

What a kind and loving tribute to your man. Choosing the finer of his qualities and leaving the rest behind, just as they have to do with us. I sensed a tender respect throughout the entire post today. You are fortunate to have each other.
ReplyDeleteI love your post! I can hear the love in your words. My hubby and I have learned (thru some difficult times) to give it all, including our mariage to the Lord, and what a difference it has made! Who better to teach of true love than Love Himself? Awesome post!

So glad One fine man is very much on the mend. How beautiful your words are about your relationship. Does he read your blog? He will smile if he does. B
ReplyDelete"one fine man" ~what a wonderful term of endearment! Sweet words about your husband and love for one another!!
ReplyDeleteThis is powerful. God knows the strength in the unity of husband and wife. The enemy knows too and thus his desperate fight to bring division. What a testimony of obedience that you heard God whisper and embraced His nudgings in such a wonderful way. Beautifuly expressed. Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully incredible update!!! I am blessed to read the words!!
ReplyDeleteit's hard to share all that is going on in our lives in a comment box but this has been a resounding voice to me lately as i'm in the 'winter' it feels. thanks for the encouraging words this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love your post! I too, have a hubby I love more now than the day we walked down the aisle. I think too often wives tear their husbands down for what they're not. (Forgetting that we're not all that ourselves!) Joining with our husband with an attitude of oneness is as God desires in marriage.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and your One Fine Man :-)
That just makes me cry...
ReplyDeletesuch a sacred love that you share with your man. It is evident in your words.
God continue to grow that love as you both continue to grow toward the Son!

Aw this is just so sweet Melanie. Sounds like you are both very blessed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. You both are beautiful. When I see you, I will share with you about the Salt Covenant. God is speaking! I am finding that the more I become like my elder brother, the more I love my husband, too. And yes, it's more than the beginning or the middle and tomorrow it will be more than today. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know your fine man is recovering so well. Been praying for him as the Lord reminds me to. :-)
