Matthew 22:37-39
37 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.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
This was the first year that I am creatively being a living example of this verse each and every day! I know that I will never reach the goal that is expected, but I'll strive to create a more better living example of what this verse means to me!
This year, the wisdom I have gain is this: when I stay discipline to the great and foremost commandment, it makes the second one is all the more easier. I realize that I cannot love others truly as God would like me to, with my own strength and ability to love!
