Deceptive Love

Romans 12:9-12

Let love be without deceit and loathe evil,
Cling to what is good and scorn the devil;
Be kind to each other with brotherly love,
Showing your caring compassion thereof;
Do not be lazy rather intensify your spirit,
Rejoice and jubilant on life in each facet;
Be glad in the good and patience in trials,
Remember to turn your frowns into smiles;
By all means keep talking to God in prayer,
Not just afflictions but goodness to share.
Show others a love that is real and sincere,
For true love remains in your heart so dear;
A counterfeit love will be shining through,
With wearing a mask showing your value;
A deceptive love letting Satan in your life,
Allowing impatience and hatred with strife;
Show your true colors not behind a mask,
You can seek help praying to God and ask;
Fellowship with others is your best way,
Meeting expectations of God every day.
