It is tempting to want our noble purpose and relationships to involve power, status, or high regard. But in marriage and friendships, this purpose is often more personal. It involves vulnerability, compromise, and embracing the ordinary and oftentimes the chaos that life brings. It is noble to sit down our egos, and our fantasies of who our partner or friend before us might be, and really see them as God sees them. This is, after all, the noble purpose, for each of us, and all our relationships.
In the Holy Trinity we have an example of perfect love. No human relationship is perfect but we can strive for a noble purpose in our relationships. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can dance the dance of offering and receiving love. Love is willing the good of the other.
How will you dance the noble dance of love today?
Lord, enliven me with a noble purpose today.
