Romans 12:9,10 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Do only what is good. Love each other in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each other more honour than you give yourself.

When you think about it, there’s a lot of shallow love going round these days. But the more you think about it, love that pretends to be love, isn’t love at all. All that pretend love does, is to hurt people.

I’m sure we’ve each had at least one relationship in life where we thought the other person loved us, only to discover that it was pretend love. The sort of love that didn’t last. The sort of love that didn’t remain faithful. The sort of love that, at the end of the day, was disposable. Yep, that hurts.

And I for one don’t want to inflict that sort of “love”, that sort of hurt on others. I’m sure you’re the same, which is why today, God is giving us a wake-up call to get real.

Romans 12:9,10 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Do only what is good. Love each other in a way that makes you feel close like brothers and sisters. And give each other more honour than you give yourself.

How do we get real? How do we make sure that the love that we give out is genuine? We hate evil and only do good. We honour others above ourselves, because in doing so, we demonstrate to them that our love is genuine. Rocket science that ain’t!!

At work, we don’t backstab people, we don’t step over them to get where we’re going. We give them credit where credit’s due. We lift them up in front of others. We honour them.

At home, we encourage our children, even when we’re disciplining them. Husbands help your wives, serve them as Christ served you. Wives bless your husbands in ways that only you can.

Your love must be real. Hate what is evil. Do only what is good.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.

Hi 😀 My name is Janet. I Live In Namibia. I have goliath in my life that I find hard to defeat and need a helping hand in prayer and to strengthen my faith in the mighty name of Jesus. Please, pray for me and help me overcome this evil that is roaming around me and my immediate family. As a child of God, I have faith but, I get weak trying to fight them on my own and need guidance, I need friends to help me feel I have a strong chain of prayer. I believe in Jesus name that you will always remember me in your group prayers. I have no one but God and as a child of the almighty believe that the circle you have of prayer will strengthen my faith and defeat the serpents evil plans as to not prosper in the name of Jesus. Amen.
