My in-laws are not low maintenance. They are needy and rather inconsiderate at times.
But my husband has been clearly told by God to love them sacrificially for the time being.
I feel the pull as well so I want to come alongside him and help.
Can I open my heart and do loving actions to these people I frankly don't enjoy?
I have asked God to help me love them as I love myself, to give, to serve, and to show them the undeserved kindness the good Lord has shown me.
Even though they are my Samaritans and Id rather it be anyone else, there is only one righteous option. To grumble and complain is not pleasing to the Lord.
So I surrender to God's kind ways. Its no good to sacrifice in ways the Lord has not ordained. I really want to do what the Lord wants. And as I pray my heart changes to be more like the Lord's. I give Him all credit for that.
So this is me saying each and every day, I will do my best for that day. I will take my thoughts captive and love them even in my thoughts. I will sacrifice for them like the Lord sacrificed for me. I didn't deserve that. And I believe the love of God is greater than any sin or stronghold in my in-laws lives. It is stronger than me and I trust in it with all my heart.
