Saying “I love you” is easy but genuine love involves
genuine commitment & dedication.
So focused upon indulgence (which is by its very definition
selfish), genuine love has proven impossible to many. Genuine love is
unconditional and sacrificial and “Covers a multitude of sins” 1Peter 4:8. Genuine
love does not ask, “What’s in it for me.” It does naturally and willingly lift
up another, offer hope and strive in other’s best interest.
Today, there is such a turning away from the True Love of
God that standard teaching is to look out for number one, to get all you can
get and experience all you can regardless of the cost to others. This teaching
has even polluted the Church. The one group where anyone should be welcomed and
genuinely loved, where hope and joy should abound. We are all, after all, just
sinners saved by the genuine love of our gracious Savior. Let us reject worldly
teaching and live in genuine love for all.
