Bumper Stickers

I love Bumper Stickers (although I don’t stick them on my vehicles because they are so hard to get off). Some of them are hilarious. I saw one the other day that said, “Live So The Preacher Doesn’t Have To Lie At Your Funeral.” I can identify with that statement. I can also identify with another one I saw, “I Love My Wife.”

I have no idea what the husband’s motive was in using the rear of his car to proclaim his love for his wife to the world, but I assume he just wanted to let the world know that he is not ashamed to let others know that he is in love with his wife. Pretty brave guy. He is to be commended.

I would like to think that the guy’s wife feels pretty secure and pretty pleased that her husband openly declares his love for her. I also hope that she knows through numerous other things that he does that he loves her deeply.

While I don’t announce my love for Astra on a bumper sticker, I want to declare it in ways that shows her—and everyone around us—that I love her with my whole heart. Proverbs reminds us that our desire is for the security of love; it’s called “unfailing love” (Proverbs 19:22). Does Astra feel secure in my love or do I leave her with doubts?

What about you? Does your spouse feel secure in your love? Do you say the words, “I love you” often, or do you think that if you say them once a week or so, that’s enough? Talk to your spouse and find out if they feel secure. Declare to the world that “I Love My Wife” (or Husband) as the case may be.
