Love without Motive

"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor, giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality."

Romans 12:9-13


"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus." 

Phillipians 2:3-5


Love with a love that doesn't have a motive or expectation of anything in return. Honor your brother and sisters in Christ (all of them, no matter who they are or what title they may have.) Care for one another and think of others more than yourself. Be there for them no matter what you are going through yourself. Pray for them. Rejoice with them. Walk in patience when they are going through something hard. Hospitality- welcoming, helpful, warm, kind, cater, courtesy, generosity, entertain. Give out self to the needs of others with hospitality. Have the mind of Christ, who is Love.
