Can Love Revive a Dying Flame When We're Feeling Stuck?

Love can indeed revive a dying flame when we're feeling stuck, but not in the way the world often thinks. The world tells us that love is a feeling that comes and goes, and that if we're not feeling it, then it's not real. But as Christians, we know that true love is not just a feeling, but a choice we make every day.

When we're feeling stuck in a relationship, it's easy to give up and assume that the love has died. But the Bible tells us that love is not just a feeling, but a decision we make to love God and others, even when we don't feel like it. In 1 Corinthians 13:13, we're told that love is the greatest gift of all, and that it never fails. This means that even when our feelings are gone, our love can still be alive and thriving.

So, how can we revive a dying flame when we're feeling stuck? The answer is not to try to recapture the feelings of the past, but to focus on the love that is still there. This means being intentional about showing love and kindness to our partner, even when we don't feel like it. It means being patient and understanding, and working through the tough times together. And it means praying for God to revive our love and give us the strength to keep going, even when we don't feel like it. As the Bible says in Romans 5:4, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." When we choose to love like this, even when we're feeling stuck, we can revive a dying flame and keep our love alive.
