“But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.””‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:34-40‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Jesus says, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” How do you love someone else as yourself? It seems to start with the first commandment of loving God with ALL your heart, soul and mind. It is very difficult for me to truly love another person or myself unless I have a love for God above ALL else. If we are not under God’s authority, it’s impossible to truly love someone else the way He wants us to love them. Please pray that we and our friends seek the relationship with God first and foremost so we can truly love our neighbor. Please pray for Debbie, Makenna and Kole.
