Romans 13:8—Owe no one anything, except to love one another;
for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
In the ancient times, people were quite caught up in
following rules. Their concept of God
was that He was easy to anger and demanding.
To disobey the law would be to incur the wrath of God. Jesus came to Earth to show us that all God’s
laws drive at one thing—for us to love one another. When we love each other, we will treat each
other well. We will not intentionally hurt
one another when we build loving relationships with one another. Most importantly, when we love one another,
we gain a better understanding of how God loves us.
Today prayerfully consider the relationships in your
life. Is there an area where you are
holding back love from someone? Is there
an area where your love has become stagnant?
Are there areas where your love for others is flourishing? Take a moment to thank God for all the
relationships in your life and pray for each of those relationships
individually. Pray that your love for
others would grow and flourish. Ask God
to guide you in sharing your love with others so that your relationships might
help you understand God’s love for you.
Praise Him for His unwavering love for you.
