Love And Live

Scripture: 9 Love others well, and don’t hide behind a mask; love authentically. Despise evil; pursue what is good as if your life depends on it . 10 Live in true devotion to one another, loving each other as sisters and brothers. Be first to honor others by putting them first . 11 Do not slack in your faithfulness and hard work. Let your spirit be on fire, bubbling up and boiling over, as you serve the Lord . 12 Do not forget to rejoice, for hope is always just around the corner. Hold up through the hard times that are coming, and devote yourselves to prayer. 13 Share what you have with the saints, so they lack nothing; take every opportunity to open your life and home to others. (Romans 12:9-13 The Voice) Love others well. Think about how we might do that; serve, time, gifts, encouragement. And then live. Think about how we might do that; honor others, be faithful, work hard, be alive for the Lord, rejoice and hope, share what you have. Living for the Lord and living with others needs to work. Start with authentic love for others and then live the life we have been given. Father, I am thankful for my life. You have been so very gracious and faithful! I want to love better and live this life better. Amen I will give thanksgiving and praise to my God. I will bless His name for He is good. His unfailing love and faithfulness continue forever. Psalm 100
