ONGOING BROTHERLY LOVE

 
 
Hebrews 13:1


"Let brotherly love continue." ESV


Brotherly love is 'phileo' love. The Greek meaning here is a love that is strong and seeks the good of the other person. It is loving others as we love ourselves. We are told to let this continue. We can only let it continue if it is present to begin with. When we accept God's love through faith in Jesus Christ, we are filled with this brotherly love and express it to those around us. Given time, troubles, and an evil environment, it is easy for this special love to slowly drain out of us. In order to keep it healthy and strong, it is up to us to stay close to our Lord, letting His love fill us so that our brotherly love continues.


Heavenly Father, how we thank You and praise You for the love You shower on us so that we can love others. Help us to keep this love strong and healthy. Give us hunger for Your Word and communion with You so that we can feed that love. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
