Debt free, except for love

Morning: Psalm 88; Genesis 27:46-28:4; Romans 13:1-14
Evening: Psalms 91, 92; John 8: 33-47

“Owe no one anything, except to love one another.”  Paul’s statement is intriguing.  Before this, he says: Pay people their due – taxes, respect, and honour.  If we say, “I owe no one anything,” it can be true of those kinds of debts.  But, we will always owe Love.  Love is the cost of living.  Just as Love creates Life, Love sustains it ... Love sustains every tender, fragile, beautiful and strong element of Life on this Earth.  Wherever that Life is wounded, threatened or diminished, a debt of Love is owed. I can never say the debt is not mine.
