by a Holy God. And love—God’s definition of true, honest, real love—leaves no room for selfish or
impure motivations. Even if someone were to say that the situation demands selflessness, it is still a
human determination and not a divine one. A human being’s reasons for determining what is best,
without true love are foundationally selfish.

So what happens when things look right but God says they are wrong? We must trust God’s sovereignty
and trust “that all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called
according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). If we belong to Christ, God has given us His Spirit (John 16),
and through Him we have an understanding of what is right and wrong. Through Him we are convicted,
encouraged, and guided to righteousness. An earnest desire to know the truth of a matter, coupled with
seeking God, will be rewarded with God’s answer. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after
righteousness, for they shall be filled" (Matthew 5:6). https://www.gotquestions.org/situational-ethics.html

Remember, you can be kind and loving yet still do what is right in obedience to God’s Word. God says:

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and
he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will
also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

I Corinthians 10:13
