Just Love.

"Let love be without hypocrisy.  Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good." 
-Romans 12:9 (NASB)

Each of us are faced with decisions and problems every day.  Sometimes we are also faced with difficult people who rub us the wrong way.  Our approach to making decisions, solving problems, and dealing with all people should rely on love.  Our decisions and dealings should reject evil, be built firmly on what is good, and share the love of God and Jesus. 

This is often easier said than done.  There are times when it is hard to see the good in a situation or person.  Ask God for the strength and vision to see what is good.  Follow God's example of loving each person and the good in each person while rejecting the evil that is in all of us. 

Living a life built on love is much more enjoyable than a life built on evil and hate.  Each situation and person we encounter is put in our path for a reason.  Look for the good.  Embrace it.  Share God's love and be amazed by what happens in your life!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for looking past my evil deeds and loving me.  Thank You for sending Your Son to eliminate my sin.  Please give me the vision to see the good that is around me and the wisdom of how to share Your love.  In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
