"Thou shalt love the LORD"
2/3/2018
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (KJV)
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Man has stated we will set aside a day to celebrate love. Here in Deuteronomy 6:5 we find who our first love should be. If we can do what this verse states, love God with all that we are. How wonderful our life would be. We might not have wealth, fame, or friends here on this earth; however, we would be happier and have a peace in our soul that no one, which does not love God with their whole being, cannot understand.
As we celebrate during this month of love, we all need to share the love of God with all that we meet. If they are family, love them. If they are neighbors, love them. If they are people who dislike you, love them. If they are someone that has done you wrong, love them. It matters not who they are or what they have done, we are to show the love of Christ to them.
Heavenly Father, this is the first day of the rest of our lives and I ask that you show us how to spread your love that you have given to us to those around us; so that they might see you in us and desire to meet you and live for you. Give us the strength and courage to show your love to those that do not like us, so they can see you in us.
Thank you, Lord, for loving us, enough that you made a way for us to feel your love in a very real way. Amen.
