Your Question:
Why me?! I've been faithful all these years...
Answer:
I can feel the weight of your frustration, my friend. It's as if you're asking, "Why me? I've been faithful all these years." But let's not confuse faithfulness with a sense of entitlement. Faithfulness is not about what we get out of our relationships, but about what we become in them. It's a choice, a commitment to serve and love, even when it's hard. As I reflect on my own marriage, I'm reminded that faithfulness is not just about my wife Susan, but about my relationship with God. It's about being faithful to His instructions, even when I don't understand them. It's about being like Jesus, who was faithful to the Father, even when He didn't see the way ahead. I've learned that faithfulness is not about being perfect, but about being deliberate, about choosing to commit to the person or cause, even when it's hard. So, I ask you, my friend, are you being faithful to your spouse, not just because it's your duty, but because you're caught up in the delight of the relationship? Are you being led astray, in a good way, by the passion and love you share? That's what faithfulness looks like, not a sense of obligation, but a sense of joy and commitment.
