The Word

Romans 12:9-12

Don’t just pretend that you love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Stand on the side of the good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy in your work, but serve the Lord enthusiastically. Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. NLT

A Thought

Look at these verses in the opposite -

· Leave people know you don’t care for them.

· Accept what is hateful , ugly.

· Be a fake person– say you like someone but don’t

· Be lazy, irritable.

Guess what! God probably won’t plan a lot for you — because He knows you are not showing His love, or looking for Him to work in your life.

If you serve the Lord enthusiastically, then you will be looking for and be glad for all that God is planning for you.

Be enthusiastic! God has something special planned for you.

If you know what His plan is — Praise Him — there is more coming!

If you don’t know His plan yet — Be patient — Keep looking — it is coming!
