Romans 12:9
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
What do we do with evil? That’s a hard word to even use today. Moral certainty has eroded to a great degree under banners like “Don’t judge” and “Find your bliss”. If we Abhor what is evil, literally turn away in horror from things God calls evil, do we end up hidden away like the Amish or riding with swords drawn like the Crusaders?
If Love is genuine, we tap into something certain and empowering. Genuine love, flowing from God to us, has eyes to see good and grab onto it, ears to hear evil and pull back. Genuine love cares enough to pull others along with all the firm and gentle care of a lover from evil to good. Let your love be Genuine.
Prayer prompt: Lord, keep Your genuine love before me so I will love others in the same way.
