From a casual perspective, one objective of life and
love is to have fun. So, what’s wrong with that? The obsessed, fun-loving
person is in love with pleasure to avoid pain. John Keats noted, “Mature love is
capable of living with uncertainties, doubt and mystery without impatiently grasping
for reasons and facts.”
What did he mean by his declaration
that “Mature love is capable of living with uncertainties, doubt and mystery
without impatiently grasping for reasons and facts”? Keats referred to love that’s
stable and capable of tolerating not being in complete control when life is not
totally predictable and where answers to life’s questions are not available.
Life can be enjoyable when confidence and patience are
conjoined with a sense of excitement for doing what God directs. Jesus encouraged
his disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit before presenting the Good News of
the Gospel to their world. When the Holy Spirit came, they were changed and their
purpose became apparent.
