Thought for the Day

"And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Matthew 12:28-31

I recently heard a wise woman say that you know you love someone when you are ready to spend the rest of your life making them happy. We can also apply this to loving the Lord God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Nothing pleases the Lord more than us keeping His commandments.

This is what Jesus said in John 14:15: "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Are you ready to devote the rest of your life to pleasing the Lord?
