Jesus once spoke to a woman at a Samaritan well who had tried getting her needs met through five different failed marriages. But standing there before Him with both her life and her water bucket empty, she found in Christ what He called “living water” (John 4:10)—a supply that wasn’t just for quenching temporary thirst. He offered her a drink of soul satisfaction that never quits giving and refreshing. And this is what’s available to you at each sunrise and each night before bed, no matter who your spouse is or what they’ve done to you. “In Your presence is fullness of joy,” King David wrote to God. “In Your right hand there are pleasures forever” (Psalm 16:11). God is your everyday supply . . . of everything you need. TODAY'S DARE Be intentional today about making a time to pray and read your Bible. Try reading a chapter out of Psalms or Proverbs each day, or reading a chapter in the gospel book of John. As you do, immerse yourself in God’s love and find rest in the promises and peace He has for you. This wi

He was willing to love you even though you didn’t deserve it, even when you didn’t love back. He saw all your flaws and still chose to love you. His love made the greatest sacrifice to meet your greatest need. As a result, you are able (by His grace) to walk in the fullness and blessing of His love. Now and forever. And then you can experience and share this same love with your spouse. You can love even when you’re not loved in return. You can see all their flaws and imperfections and still choose to love. And you can become His instrument, one of the most personal ways He meets the needs of your spouse. As a result, they can walk in the fullness and blessing of your love. Now and till death. True love is found in Jesus Christ. And after you have received His loving gift of new life, His sacrificial death in your place, and His forgiveness for your sins, then you are finally ready to live the dare. TODAY'S DARE Dare to trust what God is saying to you through His Word. Dare to trust Jesus Christ for your salva

Perhaps you’ve never given your heart to Christ, but you sense Him drawing you today. You may be realizing for the first time that you, too, have broken God’s commands, and that your guilt will keep you from knowing Him. But Scripture says that if you repent by turning away from your sin and turning to God, He is willing to forgive you because of the sacrifice His Son made through His death on the cross. He is pursuing you, not to enslave you but to free you, so you can receive His love and forgiveness. Then you can share it with the one you’ve been called most specifically to love. Perhaps you’re already a believer, but you would admit that you have walked away from fellowship with God. You’re not in the Word, you’re not in prayer, maybe you’re not even in church anymore. The love you used to feel coursing through your veins has dwindled into apathy. The truth is, you cannot live without Him and you cannot love without Him. But there is no telling what He could do in your marriage if you choose to put your t
