Indomitable........that's quite a word! And, it has several meanings: Incapable of being overcome or subdued; unconquerable, untamable; not easily discouraged or defeated. My college dictionary from1973 gave me the first two definitions and a dictionary from 2003 gave me the third definition. Indomitable to me is unconquerable, untamable. Being easily discouraged or defeated has a completely different meaning to me!
So what is indomitable to you? What would be unconquerable for you? What is untamable in your life? Would you stake your life on something that is indomitable? Would you stake your life on love that indomitable? Have you ever been the recipient of indomitable love? Or, have you ever given that type of love to another? Some believe that a parent's love is indomitable.
Love is indomitable. Love is irresistible. Love conquers all even when we don't get what we want out of life. Love is deep. Love is strong. Love is self-sacrificing. Love is more than compassion or sheer sentiment. Love sits down with others. Love listens. Love pushes when necessary. Love isn't afraid.
The Bible defines it beautifully in I Corinthians 13:4-7: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
What would you stake your life on? Would it be this kind of indomitable love? Would it be a passion for a specific cause that you would give your life for?
Would you consider someone dying for you indomitable? Would you consider being the recipient of such a sacrifice? If you are a believer, there is someone who died for you, for me. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. His love was and is indomitable. Christ's love never fails. Never.
So, I ask again, what is indomitable to you? Would you stake your life on this kind of love? I would. And, I do. Every day. I hope you will, too!!!
