Fix It So You Can Flourish: Owing Love

    Good Morning!! Over the next several weeks, as the Lord wills, I am going to share a Bible verse for us to think on and apply through our week. I call this series: 'Fix It So You Can Flourish' God is worthy of our every effort to align ourselves with His will and way! Thinking on His Word and applying it to our daily walk will help our faith to flourish! Let's begin! 

“Owe no one anything except to love one another,

for He who loves another has fulfilled the law.”

(Romans 13:8 NKJV)

    We owe it to our family, our friends, our neighbours, and our enemies to love them. We owe it to them. Think about that for a moment. It is the only thing we are to owe anyone!

    When we show love through our actions (1 John 3:18) we show God to others. People who may not otherwise know God can see Him through us when we truly love Him and them!

    When we love, we “prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2). Others will see the difference when they compare you and your actions with those in the world! We will prove ourselves to be disciples of Jesus (John 13:34-35) and we can have confidence that we are abiding in God (1 John 4:12-16)!  

    Let’s do it God’s way!! He has instructed us over and over again to love as He has loved us!! Let’s put it into action!! We owe it to Him to be obedient to this command and we owe it to others to show them God's light and love (Matthew 5:14-16)! 

You can do it! So can I!!

“Beloved, if God so loved us, 

we also ought to love one another.”

(1 John 4:11 NKJV)
