Bible Verse of the Day - February 15, 2023 Wednesday

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. — Romans 23:9 NKJV

Reflection on Verse for Today

True sincerity can only be found in divine love that emanates from our Savior’s heart. The most important fruit of the Spirit is love, which we are required to display in our lives. The Holy Spirit can only give us this fruit if we die to self, abide in Christ, and He in us. Human love is flawed, and it frequently shows selfish tendencies or hides behind pretenses of hypocrisy. However, holy love is sincere, unwavering, and infallible. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things; it is not envious, haughty, unfit, or easily offended.

Yes, love never fails and is kind, gracious, and patient. As Christians, our dearest desire should be to cling on to all that is good, while evil is to be avoided and all unlovely behaviors and ungodly attitudes are to be abhorred and loathed – with a pure, godly hatred.

According to the gifts and ministries that we have been given by the Spirit of God, Paul insists that the man or woman of God should show in their life a godly love that emanates from a deep regard for the Lord and a compassionate affection for those who are in the household of faith. Such a person ought to mirror Christ in their life, producing much fruit, and in their overflowing love for God, which is greater than all human understanding.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, I give You thanks for Paul’s remarkable letter to the Romans, which lays out the cornerstones of our faith and the conduct that You expect of all Your blood-bought children in such a plain and understandable manner. I ask that God’s love fill me completely and flow through me to others as I live my life to Your honor and glory. As I abide in Christ and He in me, I pray that I may cling to what is good and despise all that is evil. I also beg that my love be without hypocrisy. Amen.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
