Your Question:
What's the greatest love we can show to others when life gets busy?
Answer:
As I reflect on the greatest love we can show to others when life gets busy, I'm reminded of the importance of commitment. Just like my wife Susan and I have committed to each other for 19 years, we must be willing to put in the effort to nurture and prioritize our relationships. It's not just about the emotions, but about a deep-seated commitment to serve and care for one another, even when the going gets tough. In our busy lives, it's easy to get caught up in our own desires and interests, but true love requires us to put the other person first. As the scripture says, "Many waters cannot quench love, nor will rivers overflow it" (Song of Solomon 8:6-7). This kind of love is not just a feeling, but a choice we make every day to prioritize and serve one another. It's a choice that requires us to be generous, to lay aside our own desires and interests for the sake of the other person. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle to maintain their relationships in the midst of busy lives. But I believe that the key to a successful marriage is not just love, but commitment. It's a commitment to communicate openly and honestly, to prioritize each other's needs, and to serve one another with generosity and kindness. When we make this kind of commitment, we open ourselves up to a deeper and more meaningful love that can endure even the toughest challenges.
