The Harvest of Love in a Busy Life

When life gets busy, it can be challenging to maintain a sense of love and connection in our relationships. The initial emotional explosion of a new relationship can be exhilarating, but it often dies down over time, leaving us with a sense of dissatisfaction. This is because we have been trying to find our fulfillment in the wrong place. We have been seeking love and happiness from our partners, children, and others, rather than from God.

As the Bible says, "If there were no great need, the fulfillment would be less sweet." (Author's translation). This means that our true needs can only be met by God, and not by human relationships. When we recognize this, we can begin to see that love is not just a feeling, but a way of living that brings life to those around us. It's not just about romantic love, but about loving consistently all the time, even on the tough days. This is the kind of love that God wants us to have, and it's the kind of love that brings lasting satisfaction.

The harvest of love in a busy life is not just about finding happiness in our relationships, but about living a life that reflects God's love. When we love the way God wants us to, we love consistently, even when it's hard. We love our neighbors, our friends, and our family members, not just because they make us feel good, but because we want to bring life to them. This is the kind of love that brings fulfillment, not just emotional highs, but a deep sense of satisfaction that comes from living a life that is centered on God's love. As the Bible says, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." (Romans 15:13) This is the harvest of love in a busy life, and it's available to all of us who put our trust in God. 148 Relationship Building 149
