Your Question:
What's the greatest love we can show to others when we're feeling stuck?
Answer:
When we're feeling stuck, the greatest love we can show to others is not necessarily about how we feel, but about our commitment to them. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with this very issue. They get caught up in trying to feel a certain way about each other, but forget that love is not just an emotion, it's an action. Commitment is the key to a successful marriage, and it's what holds two people together for a lifetime. This commitment is not just about us, but about how we choose to act towards each other, even when our feelings are not in line. It's about choosing to love, not just because we feel like it, but because we've chosen to. As the Bible says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." (1 Corinthians 13:4) This kind of love is not based on how we feel, but on our choice to act with kindness, patience, and humility towards each other. When we're feeling stuck, it's easy to get caught up in our own emotions and forget about the other person. But true love is not about how we feel, it's about how we choose to act. It's about being willing to put the other person's needs before our own, even when it's hard. As I always tell my congregation, "Like it or not, I'm going to love you like nobody ever has." This is the kind of love that can overcome even the toughest challenges, and it's the kind of love that can bring us closer to God and to each other.
