Today's Word for Wednesday April 29, 2009
Love Defined by Webster:
Profoundly tender; affection for another person; A love affair; the benevolent affection of God.
|
"Love God, your God,
with your whole heart;
love Him with all that is in you,
love Him with all you've got"
Deuteronomy 6:5
[Message translation]
|
From the moment each of our six children was born, we were committed to teach them to first LOVE GOD and then their family and neighbors. LOVE is a basic need in our lives and LOVE is what God wants from us. We endeavored each and every day to be consistent with them showing our love through our words and actions. God honored this commitment by blessing us with children that responded favorably and live today a life driven by their Love for their Lord and Savior.
When the disciples asked Jesus what was the most important commandment, He responded that it was to LOVE GOD! [Mark 12: 29-31]. The second greatest commandment is to LOVE our neighbor. We are compelled as Christian parents and grandparents to set standards for our children and grandchildren that always begin with LOVING GOD. Love is what keeps a family together.
|
 |
Give each one of us in our family a heart that loves you,
a spirit that serves you and standards that honor you.
We thank you for your eternal love and your promise that
if we love you that you will never leave us nor forsake us.
