My Walk With Him: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Love is the cornerstone of our faith.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40

Jesus also gives us:

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35

My Prayer: Lord, You are love and I know You love me. You came to earth to live as I do and then You suffered and died for me...knowing everything about me, including my sin. Your love for me and all of Your children knows no bounds and is indescribable. What a great God You are! I am not worth such a God and such love. I am weak, broken, and disobedient. I seek my own powers for provision and this is wrong! You provide and "all good and perfect gifts are from above". Thank You for Your love and provision Jesus but please forgive me! Help me overcome my sin and turn towards You instead. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of this cancer. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin. Help me understand Your message for me today and every day. Help me obey and apply Your message.
