Ephesians 5:1-2 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing or having cleansed her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
Moreover, you are commanded to love her as much as you love your own body and the wife is commanded to respect her husband.

Father, please help me transition from my old ways to that of a true servant leader in the model of Christ.
