Love should be shown without pretending. Hate evil, and hold on to what is good. Love each other like the members of your family.
Be the best at showing honor to each other. Don’t hesitate to be enthusiastic—be on fire in the Spirit as you serve the Lord!
Be happy in your hope, stand your ground when you’re in trouble, and devote yourselves to prayer. Contribute to the needs of God’s people, and welcome strangers into your home.
Bless people who harass you—bless and don’t curse them. Be happy with those who are happy, and cry with those who are crying.
Consider everyone as equal, and don’t think that you’re better than anyone else. Instead, associate with people who have no status.
Don’t think that you’re so smart.
Don’t pay back anyone for their evil actions with evil actions, but show respect for what everyone else believes is good.
If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people.
~Romans 12:9-18
Today, I ask only that you carefully and prayerfully read this passage, then reflect on it from THIS perspective: PEACE...IT BEGINS WITH ME!
