Love Must be Discerning

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. ROMANS 12:9(NKJV)

 Love hates evil! Love is not an emotion that causes us to lose our sense of right and wrong. We cannot love evil and love God at the same time. “Love is not blind.”, love needs clear vision.” Our love needs discernment or else we will end up loving things we ought not to love—and entering into relationships that are not good for us. Not every relationship is a good relationship. Not every choice is a good choice. Not every friendship is good for us. Not every job is a wise career move. Not every roommate is a healthy choice. Not every purchase is a wise use of our money.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, PHILIPPIANS 1:9-10(NIV)

There are really two parts to making wise choices: First, you must know what is right. This is crucial because we live in a world where many people evidently have lost all sense of right and wrong. Second, you must have the courage to choose what you know to be right. the most important thing in life is to discover what you believe to be true, and then to stand up for those beliefs no matter what. True discernment gives you vision to see what is right and then the courage to choose to do it.

Prayer of the Day: Father in the name of Jesus, I ask and receive grace to love with discernment. O Lord, I declare I walk in true discernment that gives me vision to choose what is best and what is in line with God’s perfect will for my life.
