Your Question:
How do we show love to those who are struggling?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've seen firsthand the importance of showing love to those who are struggling. When it comes to my family, I've learned that love can take many forms. For my wife Susan, it's the small gestures that mean the most to her - a surprise dinner, a thoughtful note, or simply being present when she needs me. For my children, Joshua and Rebecca, it's about being patient and kind, even when they're going through a tough time. In our church, I've seen how love can be expressed in different ways. Sometimes it's about being a good listener, offering a listening ear and a comforting word. Other times, it's about being creative and finding ways to make focused attention easier, like planning a walk or a picnic. It's also about working on our own personal appearance as a way to show love and care for one another. And of course, love should be expressed verbally, through words of affirmation and encouragement. Ultimately, showing love to those who are struggling requires a commitment to putting others before ourselves. It means being willing to be patient, kind, and gentle, even when it's hard. 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) By living out this kind of love, we can bring hope and healing to those around us, and show them the love of Christ in a tangible way.
