Real love

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Romans 12:17,18

I love how the Word helps us understand working with people and how to live in harmony with everyone. The cross reminds us of having love, the vertical, our relationship with God and the horizontal, our relationships with people. Because of what Jesus did, we have redeemed relationships with God and people. We can take the high road, keeping at peace. Our lives can change the world because of our love for God and love for our fellow people. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35 Our love declares the power of the cross in our lives.

Heavenly Father, thanks for the blessing of your Holy Spirit, empowering us in our love for you Lord, and our genuine love for people.
