Genesis 24:67
Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death. (NIV)

My husband and I met, fell in love and married over the course
of three months. My aunt, determined to set us up, made sure we were in the
same place at the same time. I’m pretty sure that God knew we needed each
other, and he nudged my aunt into action. After twenty years of marriage and
all the ups and downs, our romance still grows through faith, prayer, and time
together. Like life, love has been a journey.
One of the most beautiful love stories in the Bible belongs to
Rebekah and Isaac. Abraham asked his servant to find a wife for his son, Isaac.
Being a wise servant, he followed the directions of his master and gave the
request to God. Before he even finished his prayer, Rebekah came to the well
and watered the camels. Just like that, God led this humble man to the future
wife of his master’s son. Obviously Isaac was pleased because Genesis says that
he loved her and married her and that she comforted him. Through prayer God
blessed Isaac with the perfect mate. Like any married couple, they faced struggles,
difficult decisions, and sickness in the midst of love and joy. Because their
love reflected their life of faith, they knew that they could trust God to take
care of them.
Every relationship benefits from acknowledging God’s presence.
Husband and wife, parent and child, even friendships are better when faith and
love take center stage.
When has God shown you love in an incredible way?
