Good morning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honouring each other." Romans 12:9-10 NLT.
Insight
Most of us have learned how to pretend to love others—how to speak kindly, avoid hurting their feelings, and appear to take an interest in them. We may even be skilled in pretending to feel moved with compassion when we hear of others' needs, or to become indignant when we learn of injustice. But God calls us to real and sincere love that goes far beyond pretense and politeness. Sincere love requires concentration and effort. It means helping others become better people. It demands our time, money, and personal involvement. An individual has the capacity to express love to a whole community.
Challenge
Look for people who need your love, and look for ways you and your fellow believers can love your family and community. Expressing genuine love is directly from God through us to others. Today, allow God to use you to show His love to all. May God bless and protect you all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
