I guess if you only ever read one passage of Scripture, this would be it!
The greatest commandment: "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: Your shall love your neighbor as yourself."
I heard someone say recently that the mark of a mature Christian is love. Not how much you pray or how much good you do for others, but the love with which you do these things. It's not about acting the right way, but about doing it all from the heart, with sincere compassion.
Wasn't it Mother Teresa who said to do small things with great love?
This week, I am going to try to do the laundry with great love. I am going to try to change the baby's daiper with great love. I am going to try to return emails with love.
Living from a place of love...can there be a more simple or more profound way to witness Chirst?
