Your Question:
What happens when love is tested in the face of uncertainty?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many couples face uncertainty in their relationships, wondering if their love is strong enough to overcome the challenges that come their way. When love is tested in the face of uncertainty, it's easy to get caught up in feelings of doubt and uncertainty. But as I've learned from Scripture, love is not just a feeling, but a responsibility that should be practiced even when it's hard. In fact, the Bible teaches us that love is not just about feelings, but about actions and commitments. When we put our trust in God, He demands that we have an unrestrained and adventurous spirit, willing to take steps of faith even when it's difficult. This is what I've tried to teach my own children, Joshua and Rebecca, about the importance of commitment and responsibility in relationships. By putting God first and prioritizing our relationship with Him, we can build a strong foundation for our love to grow and flourish. As I reflect on my own marriage to Susan, I realize that our love has been tested many times over the years. But through it all, we've learned to rely on God's promises and to prioritize our relationship with Him. By doing so, we've been able to build a strong and enduring love that has weathered many storms. And I believe that's what I want to see in the people I counsel - a commitment to putting God first and prioritizing their relationship with Him, even when it's hard.
