Your Question:
How do we prioritize love when the world around us is falling apart when we're feeling anxious?
Answer:
As a pastor and a husband, I've seen firsthand the impact of anxiety on relationships. When the world around us seems to be falling apart, it's easy to get caught up in feelings of hopelessness and despair. But as Christians, we have a different perspective. We know that our troubles are not the ultimate reality, but rather a small part of a much larger story. When we focus on the enthroned God, we're reminded of his beauty and holiness, and our troubles become smaller in comparison. In times of anxiety, it's easy to get caught up in our own feelings and struggles. But the command of the King is simple: love others as you have been loved. This isn't just a feeling, but an action. When we choose to love others, even when it's hard, we're reminded that our love is not based on how we feel, but on who we are in Christ. This is the secret to maintaining and growing strong love relationships, even in the midst of chaos. As a husband and father, I've learned that love is not just a feeling, but a choice. It's a commitment to put the needs of others before our own, even when it's hard. And it's not just a romantic love, but a love that encompasses all of our relationships. When we choose to love others, we're not just loving them, we're loving God. And when we love God, we're reminded of his love for us, and our hearts are filled with peace and joy.
