Everyone’s after the dishonest dollar,
little people and big people alike.
Prophets and priests and everyone in between
twist words and doctor truth.
My people are broken—shattered!—
and they put on Band-Aids,
Saying, ‘It’s not so bad. You’ll be just fine.’
But things are not ‘just fine’!
ROMANS 12:9 (NTL)
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Quit pretending and embrace genuine love.
DAILY FODDER
How do you know if your love is genuine?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, all glory and honor belong to you, for your truth never wavers and your word never lies. In your mercy reveal to me any deceitful ways or evil manners I might harbor in my heart. Redeem my life and let it be a true reflection of your steadfast love that can show and announce true peace. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
