JOURNAL?THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
JOURNAL/THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
“WHY are you doing what is UNLAWFUL on the sabbath?” Luke 6:2
WE live in a society FULL of rules-more so today than even back in the olden days-but JESUS REMINDS us that the ONLY RULE that really matters is the rule or LAW OF LOVE-LOVE GOD and LOVE ONE ANOTHER
“MASTER-which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him-'thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with ALL thy heart-and with all thy soul-and with all thy mind
THIS is the first and greatest commandment
AND the second is like unto it-thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOR as thyself
ON these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets'” Matthew 22:37-40
DEAR LORD-in a world full of rules- thank you fro REMINDING US that LOVE is the ONLY RULE that really matters
IT IS a GREAT DAY to be alive in GOD'S EVERLASTING LOVE for us and a GREAT day to love GOD and to try and LOVE ALL OTHERS

THE GREATEST COMPLIMENT
The greatest compliment
That we can give another human being
Is to tell them
That they are
An imitator of Christ
Albeit on a smaller scale
So how can we be
How will we be
An imitation of Christ
In today’s world
Be perfect in love
For every other human being
Be an imitator of Christ
Be perfect in forgiveness
For every other human being
Be an imitator of Christ
Be like Saint Francis of Assisi
Clothe the naked
Feed the poor
House the homeless
Be an imitator
Of Christ
Be an imitator
Of Saint Francis
Be perfect in love
For the lost and forlorn
Be perfect in kindness
For every other human being
Be an imitator of Christ
And though
We may not be perfection
As long as
We try
To do what we can do
Maybe someday---someway
Someone will say,
“I see Christ in you
You are an imitation of Christ”

ONE of the GREATEST ways to IIMITATE CHRIST is to pass MERCY
on to them-FOR WE KNOW-in the way we JUDGE OTHERS-that is HOW
GOD HIMSELF will judge us-BE MERCIFUL
