The Fruit of Love
It is LOVE that softly washes away superficial (flesh) desires, unforgiveness and hate. When we find LOVE, we desire to find more and more LOVE. And when we seek LOVE, all the following will be added too. Real LOVE cannot be faked. There are many things which say it's love, but don't be confused. LOVE gives and doesn't take, LOVE heals and doesn't tear down, LOVE seeks the highest for every human being. I probably could paste the entire chapter 12 of Romans because it is so amazing in connecting us all together. The BODY is alive and breathing and magnificent!!
Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. (when LOVE is sincere all of the following becomes a reality) Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. 17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
And we are able to do these because of LOVE
