THE DEBT OF LOVE

THE DEBT OF LOVE

Romans 13:8-10
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+13:8-10

Dear Father,

I owe love to my fellow man, as you have said. What an endless
debt! How can I keep your command to love my neighbor as myself?
What would it be like to live in a world where such unselfishness
prevailed? Ah, it would be heaven on earth, therefore such behavior
is a precondition of our heavenly inheritance.

But Lord, be gentle in your judgment toward me. I fall so far
short on this. Love would absolutely do no wrong to one's neighbor
- never taking anything that was his, or even wanting to. So fill
me with love, so that I may fulfill your law.

In the name of Jesus, help me, Lord. Amen.
