I may not feel worthy or accepted, but I am still responsible to believe what God has said. His Word assures me that in Christ I am both secure in his love and significant in his plan. A wife who feels desperately insecure is quite capable of giving herself to her husband if she believes she is secure in Christ. A husband who feels threatened by his wife’s rejection is responsible for lovingly accepting her because he can believe that he is a worthwhile Christian regardless of his wife’s response.
