Unconditional

OK, I'll admit it. I am a hopeless romantic. And I'm a guy. And I'm in love.

Before leaving for work this morning, I woke my wife to kiss her goodbye. She was soundly sleeping, but I knew that if I left without saying goodbye and giving her a hug and kiss, she would be disappointed (so would I). I apologized for waking her, but she said, "Hey, I'm glad you did. I can always go back to sleep." As I looked in her eyes, my heart was touched by what I saw. What I saw can only be described as pure love. She looked at me as if I was the only person on Earth, and it was as if I were her entire world. Of course, I am neither, but for that moment, I was blessed with a feeling that warmed me to my core. I, of all people, was the object of her affection. After 25 years of marriage, I can still look in her eyes and see what I fell in love with - and more! I knew that in my heart, she would do everything in her power to give me anything I wanted or needed. I know that she would even give her life for mine. I saw unconditional love.

It reminds me of the love my Lord has for me. When I meet him and look into his eyes, I know that I will see love that is beyond anything a human being could give. At that point in time, I will see Someone who DID give his life for mine. I will see unconditional love. I thank you Lord for that sacrifice. And I thank you for that moment this morning with my wife.
