"This is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best..." (Philippians 1:9-10).
Effective love will seek to align with what God is up to in another person's life. Because God loves perfectly, he always has in mind what is best for that person. If we want to love them well, then we will depend on the Lord for knowledge and depth of insight into what He is doing in their life at the time. If the advice we give or the ministry we do for them are not aligned with what God is doing, then we may be inadvertently steering them away from what is best for them. Which means that we are not truly loving them. And if we are not loving them with insight, then we are not discerning what is the absolute best for them. Paul's goal is that we may discern what is best for others. We cannot do this without love that is dependent on insight from the Lord.
