Your Question:
Can love revive a dying flame in the midst of chaos?
Answer:
As I reflect on the question, "Can love revive a dying flame in the midst of chaos?" I am reminded of the countless times my wife Susan and I have navigated the ups and downs of marriage. After 19 years together, I can confidently say that love has indeed been the catalyst that has revived our flame on more than one occasion. When the chaos of life threatened to extinguish the fire of our love, it was our commitment to each other and our willingness to put in the effort to rekindle the flame that ultimately saved us. I recall a time when our son Joshua was going through a difficult phase, and the tension in our home was palpable. It seemed like the love we shared was dwindling, and I was at a loss for how to revive it. But Susan and I made a conscious decision to prioritize our relationship, to put in the time and effort to reconnect and rebuild our love for each other. And as we did, the flame of our love began to flicker back to life. It was a beautiful reminder that love is not a static entity, but a dynamic force that can be nurtured and grown, even in the midst of chaos. As a pastor, I've seen this play out time and time again in the lives of those I've had the privilege of serving. When couples are willing to put in the work to love each other, even when it's hard, even when it feels like the flame is dying, that's when the magic happens. Love can revive a dying flame, but it requires effort, commitment, and a willingness to put the other person's needs before our own. It's a lesson that I've learned firsthand, and one that I'm grateful to be able to share with others.
