Love God.
Love People.
Mark 12:29-31The Message:
Jesus said, "The first in importance is, listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love The Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.' And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these."
Isn't it interesting that this was the greatest commandment? And that it was in this order? You have to love God then love people.
God has been speaking to me a lot about love. He whispers to me the power of love. He shows me the power in love. He reminds there is a lack of love-not from him- but from the church, from others, and from me.
2014 is all about love. Love is all God asked for all of us to do. I believe He only wants and needs us to love others. The world needs love right now.
Love is life changing.
Back to the basics. Conferences, books, classes, churches, mission trips etc are great. However, I feel like God is reminding us and calling us back to the basics. Our actions are suppose to speak louder than our words, buildings or programs.
Love is mentioned more than any other word in the bible- so what if we took notice and concentrated on just loving- maybe others would be freed and healed?
I asked that in a question but I want to declare it. Love is mentioned more than any other word in the bible. We should took notice. We should concentrate on just loving. Then others will be freed and healed.
Love is what saved us and love is what heals us.
What if we loved more and hated less?
There is no formula. There is no agenda. Just a goal or maybe a call to action for all of us to start loving more. I hope we start to see love in a new way and want to love the way we were called to live.
If we are going to have any life goal or be known for anything; shouldn't it be for loving others? Shouldn't that be our daily life goal? Shouldn't we be willing to love others, unconditionally, the way He loves us?
Love is the new journey I am on. I am choosing love. I am choosing to be intentional about it. I am wanting my life to be filled with His love and hopefully have it pouring out onto others.
I want his very awesome, forgiving, intentional, restoring, redeeming, joyful, freeing and unforgettable love to be seen and known to others. Don't you?
