Loving God's Way!

God gave us two great commandments outlined in Matthew 22:37-40. We are to “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

He does not stop there, he goes on to provide us His definition of love found in 1 Corinthians 13, which states: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..."

Practicing love as God defines it assures us we won't fail. Perhaps it is easier said than done, but I'm never going to stop trying. Just a little advice to go!
