Love Him

SCRIPTURE

 

Matthew 22:35-40

 

One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question: "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?"

Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

 

 

PRAYER

 

Lord, when the complications of life swirl around ______, and his mind spins with questions and the anxiety of tomorrow's wonderings… I pray that you would slow him down… and bring him back to simplicity… loving you and loving others. Lord, well up within ______'s heart a deepening love for you. Take every ounce of passion, every joule of energy, every synapse of his mind and make them pulsate with a love for you. Cultivate a sense of worship of you in every moment of his day Lord. And as he senses this love for you washing over his every activity, thought and feeling, may your peace overwhelm and envelop his very soul. In that peace, may he spill your love into the lives of those he touches. May the love he gives come back to him a hundred fold in measure. Amen.

 

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

 

Love well. Make him the center of your love, and people the overflow. And watch to see if God will not measure back to you more love that you could have ever imagined. Watch and see friend.
