The most beautiful thing we can do is love. This isn’t a romanticized love but a divine, agape, self-giving love. It always seeks the good of the other.
Just as Jesus loved, we are called to follow this way. But what does this mean?
Let love be sincere;
hate what is evil,
hold on to what is good;
love one another with mutual affection;
anticipate one another in showing honor.
Do not grow slack in zeal,
be fervent in spirit,
and serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope,
endure in affliction,
and persevere in prayer.
Contribute to the needs of the holy ones,
and exercise hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you,
bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice,
weep with those who weep.
Have the same regard for one another;
do not be haughty but associate with the lowly;
do not be wise in your own estimation.
Romans 12:9-16
Thank you, Lord, for showing us how to live love in action.
