Our greatest desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. –Hebrews 6:11-12 (NLT)
CURE TO INDIFFERENCE AND DULLNESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
When one becomes isolated and caters to himself
He doesn’t care for others nor does he want help
When someone stops caring and loving
He sets himself up for trouble and suffering.
God made humans to be in relationships
The cure to indifference is loving kinship
Go out there and make yourself vulnerable
God will never forsake you in times of trouble.

Why does God emphasize the importance of keeping our hearts pure and guarding it? The bible says that God is love and that he made us out of love. We are all commanded to follow our default setting, which is “to love.” When we do not love others, we are not obeying and honoring God.
We are also asked to keep on loving others for as long as life lasts to ensure that what we hope for will come to reality. Loving others endlessly is the cure to spiritual dullness and indifference. The opposite of love isn’t hate. It is indifference. When we do not love, we risk becoming indifferent and dull.
PRAYER
Lord, protect me from indifference.
REFLECTION
How do you guard yourself from becoming indifferent?
