Subject: How? |
Bible Note: Dear Val, Happy 2008 to you, too. (I'm already in a beautiful and sunny morning, the first one, of 2008 while you still have an hour or two to go). The old post triggered me to think about how to love God (this I mean in a "practcal?" way - well, this might not the right word) as commanded in the 1st greatest commandment since we cannot see God and Jesus is in heaven. Therefore, the Bible teaches us to walk by faith, not by sight and we are so much blessed as Jesus said in John 20:29. Still, in our daily lives, every moment, how do we follow the 1st greatest commandment? We, human, are always so absent minded and less faith. Then I think of our gracious Lord who also gave us the 2nd one "to love your neighbour as thy self" which leads me to John 21:15-17 where after Peter replied he LOVED Jesus, our Lord told him to tend His sheep; to Matthew 18:5-6 and Matthew 25:37-40. How great and awesome is our Lord that He would not burden us with unbearable load. "His yoke is easy, His burden is light." (out of context from Matthew 11:30) Shalom Azure |
