Your Question:
What happens when love is put to the test in a world of hurt?
Answer:
As I reflect on the question of what happens when love is put to the test in a world of hurt, I'm reminded of the words of Scripture that speak to the transformative power of love. When we choose to love in the midst of suffering, it becomes a noble task that can conquer evil and bring strength to ourselves and others. This is a truth that I've seen played out in the lives of those who have suffered with courage and resilience, and it's a truth that I've sought to live out in my own life as a pastor and as a husband and father. In my own marriage to Susan, I've seen the power of love to overcome even the greatest challenges. We've faced our own share of hurt and pain over the years, but through it all, our love for each other has been the anchor that has held us fast. I've learned that true love is not just a feeling, but a choice that we make every day to put the needs of others before our own. And I've seen that when we choose to love in the midst of hurt, it can be a powerful witness to the world around us, a reminder that there is a better way to live. As I look to the future, I'm reminded that love will continue to be tested in this world of hurt. But I'm also reminded that love will ultimately prevail, not because it's easy, but because it's the nature of God. And as a pastor, I'm called to model this kind of love to those around me, to show them that even in the midst of suffering, there is hope and there is love.
