Romans 12:9


"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good."
-romans 12:9
"for love is as strong as death. its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame." (Song of Songs 8:6). So for love to be sincere, it has to contain passion. Because if it is a lie, truth will be found. Love must be sincere, it is the adhesive to life's relationship. God is love and love is God. 
So if we love God we must hate what is evil, because evil things will keep us from our Lord. We are instructed in Proverbs 23:17 "Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord." Which leads to holding to what is good. Jesus tells us that there is none that are good, but one, who is Yahweh the living God. We are called to cling to Him.
I am going to continue to live in the divine romance, written to me through the Bible. Waking up each morning searching for Love, so that my heart will be after God's, and it will break when His does. I will hate what is evil, and continue to love Him, because He first loved me.
