REAL LOVE

Romans 12:9

“Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil: cleave to that which is good.” ~KJV

Let love be real, not fake. It should originate from a sincere heart, and it should have pure motives. In other words, when we love, we should love not because of the great commandment, not because we expect something in return, and not with conditions.  Instead we should love because of the God inside of us. If God is love, and He is, and His Holy Spirit dwells in us, which He should, then we should have the most authentic form of love, Agape love, at our very core.  If we have that real love inside of us, then it will surely come out; not only in our words, but also in our actions.

Hate that which is morally wrong, wicked, harmful, or causes pain and suffering to another person or to God. In other words, stop being shady.  If you know that something is wrong, don’t do it. Stop waiting until you think no one is watching and using that time as an opportunity to do wrong. Remember that His eyes are in every place, and what is done in the dark will come to the light.

Remain faithful to that which is good. Don’t stop doing what is right because those who are doing wrong seem to prosper. Continue to exhibit good character and morals. Continue to walk in integrity and show forth the fruit of the Spirit.  Though “game recognizes game”, and “real recognizes real”, God sees everything, and He “recognizes” the motives behind it all.

~ Prayer ~

God, I thank You for loving me. Help me to love for real; without conditions or ulterior motives. Help me to resist the urge to do things that are evil. Bind the devil out of my mind, and block every thought that is not from You. Lord, help me to remain faithful to doing what is good and what is right in Your sight. It is so, and so it is!
