LOVE!!!

Today our society has designated as a day focused on LOVE.  I pray that you cherish the ones you love not just today, but each and every day of the year.  It is important to give attention to them and show our appreciation.  We also need to be thankful for our spiritual family.  The Bible gives many examples of how loving your brethren is also important.  We frequently buy gifts for our family, for holidays, birthdays, weddings and such.  What have you done for your brothers and sisters in Christ to show your love?  Prayer is a private way to love, but physical acts of kindess can be seen by those you help and others.  Sending cards, taking food to mourning families, offering to babysit, visiting the sick, and so much more.  We need to be a light in the world.  There is a verse in the Bible that speaks of this subject.

Matthew 22:35-40

³⁵ Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

³⁶ Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

³⁷ Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

³⁸ This is the first and great commandment.

³⁹ And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

⁴⁰ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

My challenge to you is :  Choose someone in your life (not in your physical family), and show an act of kindess.  We have been reading about riches, and this is a way that you can become rich with love, gratitude, and a sense of self-worth.

Another verse for each day of our life:

John 3:16 -  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Blessings to you and those you love,
