Owe No One

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8

I dislike feeling like I owe someone something. I love to bless others and I don’t consider that anyone needs to pay me back. I wish it was the same way with bills. I have on my goal list to pay off my credit cards and to pay off a trip that I am going to be taking. I don’t want to owe for something that I no longer even have, aka credit card debt. I don’t want to be paying on trips I’ve already taken. I know it is a bad habit that I need to stop. I don’t want to even owe the bank on my house or car. I have to chose to make it a priority to pay off what I owe, stop spending and stop charging.

Owe love, that is a weird concept to me. I guess it doesn’t say owe love. It just says to “love one another”. I’m learning to let others love me and loving others outside my immediate family. I am learning to love sacrificially with no expectation in return. I want to love more and to allow others in my circle. Not fulfill the law but to share God’s grace and love.

Lord, forgive me for not being a better steward of the finances that You have provided and for living on credit more than I should. Help me to get those paid and to not owe anyone anything except love. Help me learn to love like You. Amen.
