Love does no evil to the neighbor, hence love in the fulfillment of the law.

Romans 13:10

The purpose of all God’s commandments is to teach us how to love. The whole reason for the Scriptures is to teach to reveal the love of God so that we can love like God, love like Jesus. Whenever you see Jesus, you see love in action. Jesus’ love is shocking at times. He is kind and compassionate and forgiving and accepting, but at times his love is also demanding and fierce and even critical. Loving real specific people is much more difficult than loving people in general. Dostevsky said it this way, “Love in reality is a dreadful thing compared to love in dreams.” 

Pray today for the grace and the wisdom to know how to love the people you see today.
