Your Question:
What does love look like in the chaos of everyday life?
Answer:
As I reflect on what love looks like in the chaos of everyday life, I'm reminded of my own marriage to Susan. We've been married for 19 years, and through the ups and downs, we've learned to love each other in a way that's not just romantic, but also sacrificial. It's the kind of love that's willing to put the other person's needs before one's own, even when it's hard. For us, that means being patient and kind, even when we're tired or frustrated. I think this kind of love is what Paul was talking about in 1 Corinthians 13. He describes love as an attitude and disposition that's characterized by trust, hope, and joy. It's not just about feeling a certain way, but about choosing to act in a certain way, even when it's difficult. As a pastor, I've seen this kind of love play out in the lives of couples who are struggling to make their marriages work. It's not always easy, but it's always worth it. For my family, love looks like showing up for each other, even when we don't feel like it. It means being present for my son Joshua's baseball games and my daughter Rebecca's school events, even when I'd rather be reading a science fiction novel or playing chess. It means being patient with each other's flaws and imperfections, and choosing to love each other in a way that's not just romantic, but also sacrificial. That's what love looks like in the chaos of everyday life.
