Most of us have learned how to pretend to love others—how to speak kindly, avoid hurting their feelings, and appear to take an interest in them. We may even be skilled in pretending to feel moved with compassion when we hear of others’ needs, or to become indignant when we learn of injustice. But God calls us to real and sincere love that goes far beyond pretense and politeness.
Real love isn’t just a feeling; it’s an action. Be devoted, honor others, and hold onto what is good. The smallest act of kindness can make the biggest difference.
