The
principle of "doing no harm" extends to our relationships with others
in everyday life. In fact, benevolence is central to New Testament
teaching about loving others. In reflecting on the law of God, Paul sees
that love is the intent behind many biblical commands: "Love does no
harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law" (Rom.
13:10)
Each
day as we follow Jesus Christ our Savior, we are faced with choices
that will affect the lives of others. When we choose a course of action,
we should ask ourselves, "Does this reflect Christ's concern for
others, or am I only concerned for myself?" Such a sensitivity
demonstrates the love of Christ that seeks to heal the broken and help
those in need. Caring for the burdens of others helps us to forget about
our own.
Love
never hurts anybody and it will never hurt. Love doesn't have to hurt.
God is the author of love and He will never hurt us. Love does no harm.
Love does no harm
