We have all heard the two greatest commandments from Matthew 22:37-39. But, what does it mean to truly love God with all of your heart? How do we really love our neighbor as oneself?
Loving God will all of our heart, soul, and mind means rejoicing in His presence. We can be content in whatever circumstance He places us in, because we have the confidence that He will never leave us nor forsake us. We should delight in reading His word, and continually strive to praise Him in our words, thoughts, and actions.
Loving your neighbor as yourself means reaching out to others in the way that we would want to be reached out to. We should not treat others with selfishness, irritability, or indifference. Forgiveness and grace are key to success in any relationship.
Our prayer is that God will bless these sweet sister-friendships that are growing within SCA. Will you pray for that too?
JOY can stand for Jesus Others Yourself. True joy comes from obeying God’s greatest commandments and placing Jesus and others before ourselves. So, as we reach out to our sisters in Christ, from infants to grandmas, we are obeying Jesus and furthering His Kingdom. Isn’t that exciting? J
