Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!
“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.’” Matthew 22:37-39
Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind. Every part of your being must show love to the one that loved you first. Wow, love is such a small word but such a powerful word. A word that brings strong emotion. Love can move mountains and tame the savaged beast. Love can draw people together. Love can heal wounds. Love draws people into union that otherwise might not seem to be a couple. Love, four little letters.
Anytime we speak of love the opposite four letters creep up. Hate. Yeah four little let's as well. While hate may be in the dictionary before love it is not the first emotion that one feels. See when you watch children play their first reaction is to love. They want to play and hug. They learn to not display love by the emotions and actions of their parents. Babies just want to love and be loved.
I came from a very huggy, touchy, feely family but over time some of that has subsided in me. Why? Our world has become so technological that we have gotten away from human touch. And maybe, just maybe that is what is wrong with our world right now. We need more love. More genuine concern for each other. More heart to heart contact. If we truly loving our neighbor as ourself, assuming we love ourselves, then displaying love should be second nature. Just like kids play. Hum, just a thought.
Until tomorrow
#liveBlessed
