THE DEBT OF LOVE

Romans 13:8-10

Dear Father,I owe love to my fellow man, as you have said.

What an endless debt!

How can I keep your command to love my neighbor as myself?

What would it be like to live in a world where such unselfishness prevailed?

Ah, it would be heaven on earth, therefore such behavior is a precondition of our heavenly inheritance.

But Lord, be gentle in your judgment toward me.

I fall so far short on this.

Love would absolutely do no wrong to one's neighbor- never taking anything that was his, or even wanting to.

So fill me with love, so that I may fulfill your law.

In the name of Jesus, help me, Lord.

Amen.
