Love...

"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another..." Rm 13:8

This verse is so true!!

I'm not sure how many of you readers out there have an accounting background-when we say a debt is outstanding, the accountant has to chase the debtor for the money or cross it out as bad debts (which are non recoverable) if the debtor is unable to settle the debt.

However, in this verse, it says that we should not let any debt (i.e. bitterness,hatred,jealousy etc) remain outstanding or cross it out (leaving it unsettled); instead, the only 'debt' we should continually keep is love - loving others.
