"Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law." -Romans 13:8 (NASB)
Most of the time we view our debts as negative things. Whether credit cards, mortgages, or other "bills", we are reminded of the burdens of debt when it comes time to make the payments. Paul reminds us that there is one thing that is worthwhile owing: love for one another!
We can get caught up in accumulating debt or owing for the stuff that we want or think we need. In the end, all that we owe and all that we accumulate won't do us any good. One thing that can improve life for ourselves and others is love! We can learn ways to show this love by talking to God and studying His Word. We shouldn't focus on owing hatred or revenge, but we should focus on loving one another. Loving God and loving our neighbors can improve life here and now...and for eternity!
Rely on God and owe nothing but love to all that you meet!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and showing me how to love. Help me to live for You and to spread Your love to all I meet. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
