When that pleasure is gone, they move on to someone else. A colleague of mine always used to nervously straighten up and apply her make-up before going home to her husband. She feared him leaving her\u2009\u2014\u2009again\u2009\u2014\u2009and wanted to pass his inspection. It wasn\u2019t enough; he moved out for another woman. Have you felt that pain of rejection from a parent, friend or spouse? Do you have to hide part of who you are to be acceptable to others?<br \/>\n<strong>It doesn\u2019t have to be that way.<\/strong><br \/>\nLate one August afternoon, 75-year-old Dorothy finally got her one chance of the day to water-ski and gracefully rose out of the water on her first try while her husband Marvin steered the boat.<br \/>\nOnly a few years later, Marvin walked very slowly with a walker or cane. Dorothy slumped her weary, medicated body in her chair, her white head bobbing sleepily while a high-pitched, rodent-repelling whining noise filled their ears.<br \/>\nA tragedy of old age? Hardly! Yes, it\u2019s sad to see someone you love suffering. The Bible tells us, <strong>\u201cThe whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now\u201d<\/strong> (Romans 8:22). That\u2019s the horrible effect of our sin and disobedience to God. But there\u2019s more to Marvin and Dorothy\u2019s story than that\u2009\u2014\u2009and more to ours too. A caregiver, watching Marvin sitting day after day by his wife\u2019s side, hearing him call her \u201choney,\u201d and watching him painfully walk over to serve her every need, said, \u201cI wish I had someone to love me like that!\u201d Who wouldn\u2019t crave a love that keeps on flowing our way when we have nothing to give back?<br \/>\n<strong>We do have someone who\u00a0loves us like that!<\/strong><br \/>\nMarvin learned to love his wife from his Saviour Jesus Christ. <strong>\u201cGod commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us\u201d<\/strong> (Romans 5:8). We\u2019ve all done many acts of disobedience to God. One, just one, \u201clittle\u201d lie deserves punishment by a righteous God who hates sin, and <strong>\u201cthe wages of sin is death\u201d<\/strong> (Romans 6:23). But God loved us when there was nothing in us to attract His love. Marvin said, not that he was living a tragedy, but that God was using his situation as part of His plan to show a love that flows from God to people like us who don\u2019t deserve it. <strong>\u201cGod so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life\u201d<\/strong> (John 3:16). Will you receive, as Marvin has, the only Saviour of sinners like yourself ?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bibletruthpublishers.com\/gospel-tract-i-wish-i-had-someone-to-love-me-like-that-full-color-tract-love-seniors\/pd9903\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#0e0e0e;background-color:#c4551f;border-color:#9d4419;border-radius:8px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#0e0e0e;padding:7px 22px;font-size:17px;line-height:26px;border-color:#d68863;border-radius:8px;text-shadow:none\"><i class=\"sui sui-shopping-cart\" style=\"font-size:17px;color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i> Purchase or Free Printable Version<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Send the text of this tract to a friend today. &nbsp; e live in a world where people use someone else for their own personal pleasure.
