JOURNAL/THE GREATEST COMMANDMEBT

"WHOEVER LIVES the TRUTH comes to the LIGHT-so that his works may be clearly seen
AS DONE BY GOD"        John 3:21

How do we live the truth?  IT sounds so easy-Just by LOVING GOD and by LOVING OUR
neighbors as our selves

NOT so easy to keep loving those SAME people who continue to ignore us or TREAT us with contempt
day after day

NEVERTHELESS-the more we concentrate on LOVE-the closer we get to GOD'S LOVING LIGHT

it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE and Light for us


“The Greatest Commandment”

In the 22nd chapter
Of Saint Luke’s Gospel
A young lawyer
Asks Jesus
Which is the greatest commandment

Jesus answers
Love God
With all your heart
With all your soul
And with all your mind
And to love your neighbor
As yourself

And why
Should we do this

We should love God
Because not only did Jesus
Tell us to do so
But because
We are all children of God
And God is living
In each and every one of us

And each and every one of us
Is special
Because each and every one of us
Are unique
With our own set of abilities and talents
No two of us
Are alike

It is interesting
That in the story
Of the “good” samaritan
Everyone is named
Except the man
Lying by the side of the road

And the reason
This man is not named
Is because
It does not matter
We are
To love everyone

Finally Dear Lord
We pray
Help us to love you
With a total love

And help us
To love all others
Because you Dear Lord
Are LIVING in ALL OF US
