“Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.”  
Colossians 3:19

Yesterday evening, I returned from Sungai Petani after attending the funeral of Datin Chang, beloved wife of my dear friend, PK Ang.  PK and I served together in FGBMFI Malaysia, organising evangelistic dinners that brought the Gospel to thousands.

What touched me deeply was the heartfelt eulogy delivered by their children, revealing how profoundly their parents’ loving marriage had shaped their lives. Despite his demanding business commitments, PK faithfully cared for his wife throughout her battle with cancer. His tender devotion spoke louder than words.

Colossians 3:19 reminds husbands that true love is expressed not merely in words but through patience, gentleness and sacrificial care.

Marriage vows are tested most deeply during life’s storms. When illness brings pain, uncertainty and exhaustion, love becomes a comforting presence, a listening ear and a steady hand that refuses to let go.

Christlike love remains faithful even when circumstances become difficult. It chooses compassion over frustration and tenderness over harshness.

Perhaps the greatest legacy we leave our children is not what we accomplish, but how faithfully we love one another.

Prayer:  
Heavenly Father, teach us to love our spouses with Christlike tenderness and faithfulness. Strengthen those caring for loved ones through illness, comfort those who grieve, and may our marriages reflect Your enduring love and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“你们作丈夫的，要爱你们的妻子，不可苦待她们。”  
歌罗西书 3:19

昨晚，我从双溪大年返回，刚参加了挚友本欽爱妻張翠愛的安息礼拜。多年来，我与本欽曾在马来西亚全备福音工商团契（FGBMFI）并肩服事，一同举办多场福音晚宴，将福音传给成千上万的人。

最令我感动的，是他们儿女所献上的真挚悼词。从孩子们的分享中，我深深体会到，父母彼此相爱的婚姻，对他们的生命产生了何等深远的影响。

尽管商场事务繁忙，本欽在妻子与癌症搏斗的日子里，始终不离不弃，悉心照顾。他温柔而坚定的爱，胜过千言万语。

歌罗西书3:19提醒作丈夫的，真正的爱不只是言语上的表达，更是以忍耐、温柔和舍己的行动来体现。

婚姻的誓言，往往在人生的风雨中受到最深的考验。当疾病带来痛苦、忧虑和疲惫时，爱就是温暖的陪伴、耐心的倾听，以及一双始终不愿放开的手。

基督般的爱，即使面对艰难，仍然忠贞不渝；选择以怜悯代替埋怨，以温柔代替苛责。

或许，我们留给儿女最宝贵的遗产，不是事业上的成就，而是夫妻之间那份忠贞不渝、彼此相爱的生命见证。

祷告：  
亲爱的天父，求祢教导我们，以基督般的温柔与忠诚来爱我们的配偶。求祢赐力量给那些正在照顾患病亲人的人，安慰失去挚爱的家庭，也愿我们的婚姻彰显祢永恒不变的慈爱与恩典。奉主耶稣基督的名祷告，阿们。
