Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Love does have its delights. One of those delights is in what is authentic, genuine, and true - love rejoices in TRUTH! So, as Jesus' disciples, we are not deceitful, manipulative, or coercive in our relationships. Instead, we strive to be transparent, intimate, honest, and vulnerable. Why? Because true love delights in truth.

My Prayer...

O Lord, God of love and truth, as you pour your love into my heart through your Holy Spirit,* please refine my love to be genuine and true, without guile, manipulation, and deceit. In Jesus' name, we pray, asking that we can be people of love and truth. Amen.
* Romans 5:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:8-9.
