One Pharisee, who was an expert on the law of Moses, asked Jesus this question to test him: “Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?” Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and most important command. And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ All the law and the writings of the prophets depend on these two commands.”
Matthew 22:35-44
Matthew 22:35-44
I have to admit it, I have a rather interesting group of friends. Some might be called "straight laced" whilst others might be called "flamboyant"; then there are those who are introverts ("the quiet type") while some are gregarious. And weird though they may be as a collection or individually (you know which you are), the thing we all have in common is a love for each other.
We can disagree, we can argue, we can laugh until we snort, we can sit quietly, we can talk about anything, we aren't afraid to be who God created us to be when we are around each other.
How wonderful would it be if all of God's children had such freedom? Oh wait...we DO have that freedom! Because we love God, we should be able to love all of His children as well! Hmmmm.....
