Written by Real love protects the innocent, refusing to ignore harm, standing for truth, and courageously defending the innocent from anything that would celebrate wrongdoing or threaten their God-given dignity and safety.
“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6
Biblical love is not submissive, passive, soft or permissive. It does not justify, defend or excuse sin, minimize harm, or remain silent when others are injured, hurt or wounded. Love stands with truth, even when truth is painful, confining and uncomfortable. When we avoid difficult conversations under the banner of “love,” we misunderstand love itself. God’s love confronts in order to heal. Protecting children, setting boundaries, and reporting wrongdoing are acts of love rooted in truth and righteousness.
Thought to Ponder:
Redefine love according to God’s Word, not comfort.
Journal Prompt:
Where have I confused love with avoidance or silence?
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, teach me to love like You love, boldly, truthfully, and faithfully. Give me the strength when I need it to act, the fortitude and tenacity to endure even when I think I can’t. In Jesus Name Amen.
