LOVE DOES NO EVIL

Romans 13:10 - "Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whether it is for your spouse, your parents, your children or even for your pets or inanimate objects, showing affection to them only has one word in the English language - "LOVE".

But the love the Jesus wants us to give to one another has a deeper meaning.  It is love that is truly coming from the heart.  Love that is willing to sacrifice as what Jesus did when He died on the cross.  Love that is the fulfillment of all the laws, as it is rooted to loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.

He even pushed this further by commanding us - "love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.

It is really difficult for us to do this.  But always remember that the Lord, Himself, has not hated us even though we are all sinners.  In fact, He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men, and even died on the cross to expiate all our sins.

We are to love one another as Christ Himself loved us, even dying on the cross so we may be saved and live eternally in His Kingdom in Heaven.

So, unless you start loving, you will never really experience true love in return.

+ Let us pray:  Lord Jesus, I love You for You loved us first.  And out of this love, You gave Your life so all our sins will be forgiven and has given us the opportunity to join You in Heaven together with God, our Father and the Holy Spirit.  Bless me, that I receive love by the loving service that I give so others may know You through me.  Amen +
