It's easy to talk about loving others until someone hurts our feelings, speaks unkindly, or pulls us into unnecessary conflict. Christine F. Perry shares a personal experience of difficult interactions at church and the conviction she felt when she realized she was avoiding people who had hurt her. Reflecting on Romans 12:9–10 and 1 Corinthians 13, this devotional explores what it means to love sincerely, practice patience, and extend grace even when relationships are strained. Join us in praying for a heart that reflects Christ's love without overlooking the importance of wisdom and healthy boundaries.
