Sincere Love

Loving Lord, I won’t just pretend that I love others. I will really love them. I will hate what is wrong and stand on the side of the good. I will love others with genuine affection and take delight in honoring them. I will have sincere love for my brothers and sisters in You, Christ, because I was cleansed from my sins when I accepted the truth of the Good News. So I will see to it that I really do love others intensely with all my heart. (Rom. 12:9-10; 1 Peter 1:22 nlt, all paraphrased)
