Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. — Romans 23:9 NKJV

Reflection on Verse for Today

True sincerity can only be found in divine love that emanates from our Savior’s heart. The most important fruit of the Spirit is love, which we are required to display in our lives. The Holy Spirit can only give us this fruit if we die to self, abide in Christ, and He in us. Human love is flawed, and it frequently shows selfish tendencies or hides behind pretenses of hypocrisy. However, holy love is sincere, unwavering, and infallible. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things; it is not envious, haughty, unfit, or easily offended.

Yes, love never fails and is kind, gracious, and patient. As Christians, our dearest desire should be to cling on to all that is good, while evil is to be avoided and all unlovely behaviors and ungodly attitudes are to be abhorred and loathed – with a pure, godly hatred.

According to the gifts and ministries that we have been given by the Spirit of God, Paul insists that the man or woman of God should show in their life a godly love that emanates from a deep regard for the Lord and a compassionate affection for those who are in the household of faith. Such a person ought to mirror Christ in their life, producing much fruit, and in their overflowing love for God, which is greater than all human understanding.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, I give You thanks for Paul’s remarkable letter to the Romans, which lays out the cornerstones of our faith and the conduct that You expect of all Your blood-bought children in such a plain and understandable manner. I ask that God’s love fill me completely and flow through me to others as I live my life to Your honor and glory. As I abide in Christ and He in me, I pray that I may cling to what is good and despise all that is evil. I also beg that my love be without hypocrisy. Amen.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
