The Debt of Love

To pay the debt of love...
  • Mend a quarrel.
  • Call a friend you haven't seen for a long time.
  • Replace a suspicion with a trust.
  • Remove any bitterness in your life.
  • Write a surprise letter to someone who loves you.
  • Tell someone you know well how much he or she means to you.
  • Keep a promise.
  • Ask God to forgive someone who did something wrong to you, and forget the wrongdoing.
  • Don't be overly demanding on the other members of your family.
  • Express thanks to others throughout the day.
  • Tell someone you love that you care.
  • Pray for one of your enemies.
  • Send a check to someone who has a need.
  • Ask God to help you to love the way Jesus loved.
