Biblical Answer

Can love revive a dying flame when we're feeling tired?

To answer this question, we must first understand that the initial emotional explosion of love may die down, but that does not mean it is gone forever. In fact, true love is not just a feeling, but a choice we make every day. When we make a commitment to love, it requires us to gut it out in prayer, grow through tough times, and wait for love to be resurrected. We have to go through the pain to get to the joy. This is not a natural process, but rather a supernatural one, where we are drawn by God's love and become more like Him.

In this sense, love is not just a feeling, but a choice we make to love, even when we don't feel like it. This is what Jesus taught us, to love our neighbors as ourselves, even when it's hard. When we choose to love, we are not just acting on our emotions, but on our values and principles. And as we continue to choose to love, our feelings will eventually catch up with our behavior. This is what happened to the author of the passage, who slowly but surely, his emotions were catching up with his behavior. If we do not give up, but proceed to love the unlovely in a sustained way, they will eventually become lovely to us.

So, to answer the question, yes, love can revive a dying flame when we're feeling tired. But it requires us to make a choice to love, even when we don't feel like it. It requires us to gut it out in prayer, grow through tough times, and wait for love to be resurrected. And it requires us to trust in God's love and sovereignty, even when we don't understand it. As the Bible says, "The everlasting God... neither faints nor is weary." (Isaiah 40:28) God's love is not like ours, it is not limited by our emotions or circumstances. It is a love that is supernatural, and it can revive even the most dying of flames. The final answer is no. I hope it is correct.
