Love Others Well

It is one thing to love others, yet quite something else to love others well. When considering others, consider what they truly need from you. What would they ask from you if they were given permission to do so? How would they like to be loved by you? Do they want your time? Give it to them. Do they want signs of affection? Show it to them generously. Don’t make others beg for love from you. Scripture implores us to “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves” (Romans 12:10).
