When you are dating potential instead of reality

Jesus calls us to love one another as He has loved us.

John 15:12

When you are dating potential instead of reality. This is where faith gets practical. Catch the sentence that begins explaining what this supposedly means about you. Jesus Christ is not obligated to agree with the conclusion fear wrote for you. Affection does not make every relationship healthy. Let Christ show you how to remain loving without calling harm loyalty. Sometimes the first evidence of change is one truthful decision. A faithful next step can open a different path than the one you usually take.

If a person you love asked for biblical counsel here, what would you offer them? Where are you asking yourself to live by a harsher standard?

Jesus Christ, show me what is automatic in me but not aligned with You. Give me enough courage to make one different, obedient choice. Amen.
