Love is real


does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; - 1 Corinthians 13.6

Love simply loves truth. Love loves what is right and just. Loves does not love wrongness. It does not love injustice. Love is real.

Love does not rejoice when others fall. Love does not need to get its own back. Love doesn’t revel in the defeat of others. Love doesn’t rejoice in backbiting. Love doesn’t rejoice in moral wrongness or injustice. Love isn’t fakey. Love has no room for hypocrisy. Love doesn’t need to operate under cover of darkness.

Instead true love loves the truth. Love is open. Love is reality. Love is honest.  

There is an awful lot of false iniquity filled emotion that passes for love out there. It is all over our cinema screens, our televisions, and our computers. It fills our reading materials. It fills our minds. 

Let’s not be confused by false love.


Real love is real. May God give us that power to love in realness.
