13. Song of Solomon 2:4 (NIV)

Is your love costly, or convenient? When you sacrifice, serve, or forgive, it rises as a pleasing fragrance to God. Choose to walk in that kind of love today.
21. James 2:8 (NIV)
“If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself,’ you are doing right.”
Meaning:
James calls this the royal law—above all others—because it reflects the very heart of God’s kingdom.

It’s not a passive affection, but an active effort to bring good into someone else’s life.
Reflection:

Meaning:
Freedom in Christ isn’t a license to be selfish. Instead, it’s an invitation to serve. True love gives itself away freely, not because it must—but because it chooses to.
