Learning to Love God

Love God - Love Others

And Jesus replied to him, “You shall love the lord your god with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

The second is like it, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for others].” Matthew 22:37, 39 AMP

Hum…Am I truly living out this command – are you?

I ask myself who is my neighbor and do the see God’s Love in me? Do they see the Light of Jesus shining in me? Only with His help can I walk worthy.

God took all the commands and laws and summarized them into two critical points: love God and love others. That’s because His love in us heals and transforms us— and His love through us heals and transforms the world around us. Imagine how much He has entrusted to us! We can’t help but share His perfect love and help others be made whole. What a gift! That’s why God wants us to keep growing in loving others well.

Learning to love God first— and loving Him so completely that you love Him with every fiber of your heart, soul, and mind— is a lifelong process.

It comes from daily meeting with Him, seeking Him, and allowing Him to change your heart to be more like His. Learning to love others next is how we cooperate with Jesus and His mission to win the lost and disciple others.

As you continue to grow in loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind, show your love for Him by loving those around you. Fulfill the greatest commandments. Love God. Love others.

Be the love of Jesus everywhere you go.

Good Friday

Happy Good Friday This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified. I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead. Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions. Family traditions can be as simple as attending ️ church and having lunch or brunch together. Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...

Limitless Life

This post is part of the P31 Limitless Life Blog Hop! I am so excited to be part of the study. For my post I chose to Map this week's verse - Ephesians 2:22. "In Him you are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit." God's mercy plucks us from the destruction of our countless sins and place us in Jesus Christ's righteousness. Our bodies are now the Temple of God! In God...He is where everything changes.
