TOPIC: The Badge Of Unfeigned Love (DCLM Daily Manna 14 February 2024)
KEY VERSE: “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” (Romans 12:9).
TEXT: Romans 12:9-21 (KJV)
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Agree one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
John author and gospel minister John Masone said, “The true measure of a person is in his height of ideals, the breadth of his sympathy, the depth of his convictions, and the length of his patience.” The gold standard for all these virtues is LOVE. However, these days, love has acquired all sorts of distorted meanings that it has become necessary always to qualify the love of which we speak.
The text of our study portrays and advocates this type of love. It is a sincere love for God and our neighbors. This love is the fountainhead of all the virtuous duties prescribed in this passage. It will enable us to hate every form of evil, embrace what is good and acceptable to God, and have a preference for one another as Christians. This genuine love will empower us to shun laziness and exercise earnestness in everything we do in our everyday lives and the work of the Kingdom.

The Christian who has true love will show kindness to others, especially people of the household of faith. He readily shares the tender feelings of others in their joyful seasons or sorrowful times. True Christian love is high, broad, deep, and long enough to feed a hungry enemy and provide drink to a thirsty foe. Indeed, this is a triumphant love.
True Christian love is not a mere notion but a practical experience. What do you weigh as you place your spiritual life and commitment on the scale of today’s scriptural text? You may see the need to sincerely resort to the Lord’s “throne of grace, that (you) may obtain mercy, and find grace” to measure up in performing these necessary godly duties.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Satan is never more brilliant than when he drains a Christian of love.
