Lord, let us give Your love to our brothers and sisters selflessly
Rm 12: 9-12 NJB Let love be without any pretence. Avoid what is evil; stick to what is good. In brotherly love let your feelings of deep affection for one another come to expression and regard others as more important than yourself. In the service of the Lord, work not halfheartedly but with conscientiousness and an eager spirit. Be joyful in hope, persevere in hardship; keep praying regularly; share with any of God’s holy people who are in need; look for opportunities to be hospitable.
Love must be poured out of our hearts without reservation. We cannot pretend that we love others. Genuine love comes from people who are humble and noble-hearted. It cannot be faked, and its scent will spread by avoiding evil and sticking to what is right. Brotherly love stems from a great passion for one another and cannot be evaluated; it will be limitless. Love is characterized by an expression of gratitude and the recognition that others are more important than oneself. God dislikes half-hearted people; instead, they should be conscientious and enthusiastic. Certain requirements must be met at all times: joy in hope, perseverance in adversity (without judgment or complaint), and consistency in prayer. We should share our resources and talents with our brothers and sisters who are living holy lives in Jesus Christ. We must seek out opportunities to help others in a warm and welcoming manner.
