Your Question:
What does love look like in the midst of chaos?
Answer:
You know, as a pastor and a husband, I've seen my fair share of chaos in life. But what I've learned is that love can be the anchor that holds us together, even in the midst of it all. For my wife Susan and me, it's been 19 years of marriage, and we've had our ups and downs, but our love for each other has always been the foundation that keeps us grounded. When chaos hits, it's easy to get caught up in the illusion that our loved ones are perfect, just like Gary Chapman describes in the in-love phase. But the truth is, no one is perfect, and it's in those moments of imperfection that love is truly tested. As a parent, I've seen my children struggle with their own flaws and weaknesses, but it's in those moments that I've learned to love them not for who they are, but for who they're becoming. For me, love is not just an emotion, but a choice. It's a choice to put the needs of others before my own, to sacrifice for the sake of those I love. And it's in those moments of sacrifice that I've seen the true power of love. As a pastor, I've seen how love can bring people together, even in the midst of chaos. It's a love that's not just romantic, but a love that's grounded in a deeper truth - a love that's not just about us, but about the other person, and the world around us.
