Love Without Manipulation

“Let love be without hypocrisy.” (Romans 12:9)

Falsehood, insincerity, and lies are rampant throughout society.  The winking eye, the lying tongue, and the deceptive sleight of hand unfortunately mark many relationships.  They are pretend friends and convey love as a guise for selfish gain.  They are conditional upon reciprocity and personal benefit.  When we love only as long as we get something out of it… that is not love; it is manipulation.

Love from a place of goodness… love without hypocrisy and pretending… love for the sake of imitation of Jesus; in this, we shine His light.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
