The past few months I've been blogging about what I've been learning on how to love my husband. I've also been learning during this time how much God loves us. His love never will fail us. In His perfect, infinite love He will always lavish it upon us.
I heard for the first time the song "Oh How He Loves Us" by Kim Walker a few weekends ago and what a powerful song. (you can follow the link below to check out the video..enjoy)

Here's the lyric so you can see what I mean how God lavishes His love out on us..
"He is jealous for me Love's like a hurricane,
I am a tree Bending beneath the weight of
His wind and mercy When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed
by glory and I realize just how beautiful
You are and how great your affections
are for me. Oh, how He loves us so
how He loves us Woah, how He loves.So
we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His
eyes If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet
kiss and my heart turns violently inside of
my chest I don't have time to maintain these
regrets when I think about the wayThat he
loves us, Woah, how He loves us Woah, how
He loves us Woah, how He loves us"
His love truly will never fail!!!
There's so many scriptures in the Bible the just jump
off the page and tell us how much God loves us...
on of the most common ones is John 3:16
There's even a whole chapter in Psalm that talks of his steadfast love endures forever
Psalm 136
1O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
2O give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever.
3O give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever;

24and rescued us from our foes, for his steadfast love endures forever;
25who gives food to all flesh, for his steadfast love endures forever.
26O give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.
His love does endure forever and while sharing about loving, cherishing, & honoring our spouses I can only think of what a perfect example God has given us to follow. There's no greater example of how to love someone whole-heartedly & unconditionally then the way God loves us...
He sacrificed being with His son and willingly gave His one & only precious son Jesus Christ just so that we can live eternally with Him...
That's true, unfailing Love
Now that's the perfect example of how to love our spouse. There will be times we have to a give up our own selfish desires and make sacrifices to show how much we truly love them. It's not always easy loving our spouse but then again I'm sure it's not always easy for my husband to love me at times either.
Thankfully our Heavenly Father is perfect and know's how to love us perfectly. Let's follow our Heavenly Father's example and love our spouse the way He loves us!!!
