Quick thought:
We should take the lead of my man, Tim, as he follows The Man’s (God) lead. Owe nothing to anyone!
All the thirty years I’ve known Tim, he doesn’t like to owe anyone anything.
So, when I read Romans 13:8a this morning, it made me think that we should contemplate about not only owing someone something that is monetarily or materially, but in character such as forgiveness and kindness.
Do you owe someone forgiveness? Do it now. Pray, give it to God, and make things right with others. You will feel free in your body, mind, and spirit.
Ok, one more quick thought:
We are commanded to love others. Love and love big! I’ve often heard that you can’t outlove God. But we can sure keep striving to love more and more.
Do you need to show a little more love to others, even those you don’t necessarily care to show love to? Well, again, do it. Pray, give it to God, and love others big.
“Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.” Romans 13:8
“If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?” 1 John 4:20
“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39
I pray many blessings and much joy for you! Have a wonderful day. – Stephanie
