Your Question:

What happens when love is tested in the face of uncertainty?

Answer:

As I reflect on the question of what happens when love is tested in the face of uncertainty, I'm reminded of the challenges that my wife Susan and I have faced in our 19 years of marriage. We've had our share of disagreements and uncertainties, but through it all, we've learned to rely on our commitment to each other and to our faith.

Love, as defined in Scripture, is not just a feeling, but a responsibility that should be practiced even in the midst of uncertainty. It's a choice to put the needs of others before our own, to be patient and kind, and to trust in God's sovereignty. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with this concept, and it's often the uncertainty that tests their love. But when we focus on the responsibility of love, we can find peace and assurance in the midst of uncertainty.

In our household, my wife and I have learned to communicate openly and honestly with each other, and to trust in God's guidance. Our children, Joshua and Rebecca, are also learning the importance of love and commitment. As a family, we face challenges and uncertainties, but we've learned to rely on our love for each other and for God. And when the uncertainty of life tests our love, we can find strength in our commitment to each other and to our faith.
