It's only been a few remarkable days since my husband's life turnaround. I am still in shock...a happy type of shock.
I mean, I prayed for 17 years for my husband's salvation. And in one turn of events, BOOM! There it was. And I could not be happier and more optimistic for both of us.
It's difficult to explain, but when we look at each other, it's as if he can see my soul and I can see his. When we touch, it's better than magical. I have a close friend tell me that was "agape" love. Well, whatever it's called, I'm thanking God nearly every hour of my days.
Last night was our anniversary, and my husband and I spent some lovely time together as husband and wife while the children were with a friend.
We again knelt together before the Lord, praying, asking for forgiveness, asking for guidance, and shedding some soul-cleansing tears for the past, as well as happy tears for the future -- now that God is the head of our home.
My husband is definitely saved. He told me so. He says his heart beats faster, his pulse quickens, and he can't find enough time in his day to pray and study God's word. Amazing.
As for me, I now understand what Solomon was talking about in his book: Song of Solomon. Before, I couldn't comprehend that deep of a love for someone...but now I can. I want to run into my husband's arms, look into his eyes, and kiss his lips. Agape love? That's first-rate love. In the book "The Pilgrimage," agape love is described as "the love that consumes." And yes, it sure does.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for our new "love that consumes" one another, our agape love. How incredible and breathtaking and marvelous. Amen.
