"Love must be sincere..."

How many times have we loved others out of obligation rather than sincerity?

This verse has challenged me to not only love people; but also to love them sincerely. It is easy to love people who are easy to love; it is easy to love people out of obligation; but loving difficult-to-love people sincerely is NOT easy.

Dear Lord, teach me to LOVE people as You love them. To love them with sincerity, not obligation. Allow my heart to be filled with the love that you have - one that is patient, sincere and everlasting.Place Your heart inside my soul Lord.
