“Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”
Paul borrows the language of home: brotherly affection. In God's house — and in yours — no one is a colleague; everyone is family.
Scripture invites us into one contest only: who can show more honor. It is the race where everyone finishes a winner.
Honor kept in your head honors no one. Say what you admire — today, with a name and a detail.
Devotion means showing up again and again: at the table, at the hospital, on moving day. Devoted love is measured in presence.
Devotion's truest test happens with the people who see you unmasked. Love the ones inside your walls first — and best.
Act: before breakfast, send a message honoring someone in your family — thank them for one specific thing they did.
