Love Must Be Sincere

When asked, I often say that my favorite Bible study was one on the second half of Romans 12. It was for the officers' Bible study in the UCU Women's house. We would wake up at 5:55AM to have our study at 6AM.

Each of our meetings focused on one phrase. We would discuss what we thought it meant and how we could live it out that quarter.

It's time to relive that study, but with some art, music, and poetry to assist.

"Love must be sincere."

In most relationships between two people (friendship, marriage, etc.), there is some form of love. Unfortunately, at least one person in the relationship loves themselves more than they love the other person. It's inevitable. We're all human. It may be seen in just a momentary action, or could be the theme of the relationship.

More than anything, it is seen in our relationships with Jesus. Definitely think about myself more than I think about the most awesome Savior in the universe. Oops!

That's why love takes work.
It's easy to forget that.
Love is one of the hardest
but most rewarding jobs
for which you will ever have the honor
of laboring.

One thing is for sure:
The harder you work towards love,
the more you will learn
about God's selfless love,
and how you can exemplify it
in your own life.
