When my body starts to ache — my shoulders, my back, my legs — I already know what I’m about to do. I turn to my husband with that look, the one he knows too well, and I softly say, “Can you please give me a massage?”
Sometimes I laugh at myself because it happens so often. But truthfully, it’s become one of those simple moments where I see God’s love at work in our marriage.
It’s not just about easing the pain. It’s about how God uses our spouses to care for us in the most ordinary ways. When my husband rubs my sore legs, I feel more than relief — I feel grace. I feel love in action.
God could have designed healing to always come from medicine or miracles. But sometimes, He sends it through the gentle hands of the one who loves you most.
So yes, I’ll keep asking (or begging!) for those massages — not just because my body needs it, but because each one reminds me that love, when shared in service and care, is a gift from God Himself.
And I pray that in return, I also learn to be the healing hands for him when he needs comfort too. 💛
Bible Verse:
“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”
— Ecclesiastes 4:9–10
Short Prayer:
Lord, thank You for blessing me with a partner who shows Your love through gentle care and patience. Teach us to serve one another with kindness, to be each other’s comfort in times of weariness, and to always remember that You are the source of every healing touch. Amen.
