Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Romans 12:9-13
What is the definition of sincere?
An earnest devotion without reservation or misgiving.
Many times in live you have to be sincere before you are aware the other person is reciprocating
Being sincere in love of others is also a leap of faith not know if the other person will offer the benefit of returning love.
It takes a bit of faith...
I found this quote awhile back that is a good example of giving in to faith in love.
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Faith in love is something only experienced in the intimacy of great friends and relationships. This is just not romantic love but brotherly love for those people we really care about.
Help me keep the zeal in love on the Adventure in Middle Grove.
