"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves fellow man has fulfilled the law." Romans 13:6

Monetary debt paralyzes and enslaves the people that become caught in its web. This kind of debt has no care for your rank, your standing in the community or even dire circumstances. Debt is an unkind and tyrannical master. This kind of debt is embarrassing and demeaning. Debt talks non-stop. While you sleep it talks to you, condemning you for your lack of self-control. As you speak to others, it also speaks, casting doubts on your integrity, even your Christian walk.

However, God is gracious! He forgives us of our debts, even as we forgive those that owe us. And like the Good God that He is, He provides the real thing. You see, dear ones, monetary debt is an evil substitute for the debt we are intended to owe -- the Love Debt!

Unlike the evil debt, Love Debt speaks highly of you. As you speak, love pours out and the world sees Christ. This kind of debt lifts your standing in the eyes of God, bestows the rank of "son" or "daughter" upon you and frees you from the heaviness of the world. When you make good on your love debts, you receive the fruit of the Spirit and all the good things God has destined for you.

Pay your debts today. Debts of love and service to the people around you.

Be who you were meant to be!
