January 12, Romans 13:10

“Don’t run up debts, except for the huge debt of love you owe each other. When you love others, you complete what the law has been after all along. The law code—don’t sleep with another person’s spouse, don’t take someone’s life, don’t take what isn’t yours, don’t always be wanting what you don’t have, and any other “don’t” you can think of—finally adds up to this: Love other people as well as you do yourself. You can’t go wrong when you love others. When you add up everything in the law code, the sum total is love.”

Romans 13:10 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.

A debt of love.  May it be that you always feel that you are in someone’s debt to return the love.  And may it also be that you cause others to feel indebted to you because of the love that you shower onto them.  This is the only kind of debt that is acceptable to be burdened with.
