Your Question:
What does love look like in the darkness?
Answer:
As I reflect on what love looks like in the darkness, I'm reminded of my own marriage to Susan. We've been married for 19 years, and I've seen love shine brightly in our relationship, even on the toughest days. When we're faced with challenges, our love for each other becomes a beacon of light, guiding us through the darkness. We see each other's strengths and weaknesses, and we choose to love and support each other, rather than letting hatred or bitterness take hold. In our household, I've also seen love shine through our children, Joshua and Rebecca. As a father, it's amazing to see how they love and care for each other, even when they're disagreeing. They know that their love for each other is stronger than any disagreement, and that's a beautiful thing to see. As a pastor, I've seen this same dynamic play out in the relationships between spouses and families in our church. When we choose to love and prioritize each other, even in the darkest of times, it brings light and hope into our lives. For me, love is not just a feeling, but a choice. It's a choice to see the best in each other, to support and encourage each other, and to prioritize each other's needs. As the Bible says, "Love is the light that shines in the darkness, and it's the light that guides us through the darkness." (John 1:5) When we choose to love, we're not just loving each other, we're loving God, and we're reflecting His love to the world around us.
