I need to know.

I need to know he is going to be there no matter what.

For better or for worse. I need to be able to trust him...

If we have too much debt to recover.

If I get really fat.

If I give birth to a child with severe cerebral palsy.

If, someday, I have to be checked into a mental institution.

If I become a vegetable.

If I turn away from God.

If I cheat on him.

Even if I grow a beard.

I need to know that he will love me as Christ loves the church.

I need to know that he loves me without conditions.

I need to know he will fight for me.
