SCRIPTURE: Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:10
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Any form of ill-treatment a person metes out to his neighbour is a proof of bankruptcy of love.
Sometime ago, a woman told me her real-life experience some time ago. A strange woman took her husband away from her. Her husband began to live with this strange woman.
Whenever she called the husband’s phone line, it was this strange woman that would pick the call. At the time she was telling me the story, husband had already lived together with this strange woman for about 21 days.
One day, this woman called her husband’s phone line again, and the strange woman picked as usual.
She asked the strange woman, “What you are doing, is it correct? You are a woman like me, why are you taking another person’s husband?”
In response, the strange woman said to her, “If you don’t beg me, you wouldn’t see your husband for the next six months.”
This man was quarantined in the strange woman’s house as if he was being held hostage by the woman.
In pains, the woman replied the strange woman, “The man in your house is the husband of my youth. We suffered together. When we were suffering, you were not there. And now you are keeping my husband and my children can’t see their father.”
Can you see the heart of people?
The strange woman can be best described as heartless. She had the guts to keep another woman’s husband, starving his wife and children of his love and affection. What a loveless generation!
The truth is, if the matter of love can be addressed and people start loving one another, we will have a better world.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour (Romans 13:10). Any form of ill-treatment a person metes out to his neighbour is a proof of bankruptcy of love. Crookedness or wickedness only displays the lovelessness rooted in the heart.
Remember this: Any form of ill-treatment a person metes out to his neighbour is a proof of bankruptcy of love.
