Your Question:
What's the greatest love we can show to others when we're feeling stuck?
Answer:
As I reflect on the greatest love we can show to others when we're feeling stuck, I'm reminded of the commitment that Susan and I have made to each other over the past 19 years of marriage. It's not always easy, and there are times when our desires and rights impinge on each other, but commitment is the key to a successful marriage. It's the cement that holds us together, even when our feelings are not at their strongest. I believe that love is not just a feeling, but an action. It's a choice we make every day to put the needs of others before our own. When we're feeling stuck, it's easy to get caught up in our own emotions and struggles, but true love is about putting the needs of others first. As a pastor, I've seen this play out in the lives of couples who are struggling to keep their marriage together. It's not about feeling a certain way, but about choosing to love and serve each other, even when it's hard. For me, the greatest love I can show to others when I'm feeling stuck is to choose to love them anyway. It's to put their needs before my own, to listen to them, to support them, and to serve them. This is not just a feeling, but a choice that I make every day. And I believe that this is what Christ's love looks like - a love that is not based on feelings, but on a deep commitment to serving and loving others, even when it's hard.
