FORMED ON LOVE

"Formed on Love"

Watercolour on Paper

October 2017 

Marriage is so much more about God than us.  We were created to love the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly.
This painting is all about marriage.  This year was my husband and my 33rd wedding anniversary.  The path of relationship is a life journey.  These 9 words describe the keys to relationship:
Dedication
Commitment
Honour
Respect
Obedience
Value
Trust
Faithfulness
But the most important key is "love" .  The marriage partnership is formed on love.  The love of Christ is our example, just as Christ loved us.
Christ considers himself incomplete without his bride.  He raises her to be one with himself.  He gave himself for her.  Love is the willingness to self-sacrifice.
This scripture spoke to me regarding this painting
Ephesians 5:25(NKJV)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her.
Blessings
