Feb 20 - Romans 13:9-10

“The commandments, "Do not commit adultery,"
"Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet,"
and whatever other commandment there may be,
are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor
as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor.
Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”- Romans 13:9-10

i think we miss the point many time when we read commandments that it's just 10 rules to restrict us, but as it is said in this that all these commandments really just say "love your neighbors as yourself." i'm continuing this talk of love. and this time it's about love we should be giving others. to love God we should love others. also it is said that if you really love God you must keep your friends close and your enemies closer. the love that we should be giving each other should be genuine still... it's hard but it's Christianity... and being a christian is hard.
