A Greater Love
Where is the love these days? Based on what you see on the news these days, you’d think that it no longer exists. However, a few days ago an Oprah show supported my faith in the trueness of Love. It was the Valentine’s episode with incredible couples and love stories. One man, Emmanuel, who survived the violence in Sudan kept the picture of a girl he met years before and amazingly met her again and married her.
The couple that touched my heart the most was the extraordinary Angela Bassett and her husband Courtney B. Vance. Because they knew the relationship was special, they decided to abstain from sex until marriage. What a way to prove your loyalty and love to someone.
Angela Bassett and her husband say their marriage is so strong “because they keep ‘God in the middle.’ Angela even had ‘GOD’ inscribed on her wedding band between her and Courtney’s initials. ‘I can only rely on his strength,’ Angela says. ‘I’ll attempt to see [Courtney] even in those moments that aren’t perfect, perhaps in a small way, the way God sees him.'”
Wow. All I can say is that is amazing, and truly beautiful. The best love stories really aren’t written or created by people…
