Your Question:
How do we show love to those who are struggling when life gets busy?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've learned that showing love to those who are struggling when life gets busy requires intentionality and creativity. One way to do this is by making time for service, even when our schedules are packed. For me, today, I have the opportunity to visit some of the members of our church who are going through tough times. I also plan to spend some group time in prayer for others, seeking God's guidance and wisdom in how to show love and care to those around me. Key features of love are patience and kindness (1 Corinthians 13:4), and I've found that when I'm feeling frustrated or overwhelmed, it's often because I'm putting my own needs and schedule first. I need to remember to be kind and patient with those around me, even when I'm busy. This might mean taking a break from my schedule to listen to someone who needs to talk, or making time for a walk or a picnic with my family. By being present and engaged with those around me, I can show them that I care and that I'm committed to loving them. I also believe that seeking peace is a profound way to show love. When we're at peace, we're better able to love and serve others. I've found that reading books like "The Peacemaker" by Ken Sande has helped me to cultivate a sense of inner peace and to develop strategies for resolving conflicts and showing love in difficult situations. By praying for the Spirit of love and seeking opportunities to demonstrate love, I can make a positive impact on those around me and show them the love of Christ.
