Your assignment is to love GOD (the one who called you to himself) with your entire heart — not only that but with the entirety of who you are — and do it with every ounce of energy you have!
ROMANS 13:10 (CEV)
No one who loves others will harm them. So love is all that the Law demands.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
You can't go wrong if you love God and your neighbors — and you are totally wrong if you don't.
DAILY FODDER
It doesn't get any simpler or challenging than that.
PRAYER
Loving God, you've called us to imitate you. Even though this assignment seems pretty clear I confess that I look for ways to complicate things. I make excuses to avoid loving some people. Reshape my heart so that it pounds with yours. I know there are some really unlovable and undeserving people out there, but I'm going to accept that as a challenge to up my game. And maybe someday I'll become so loving that people will notice you're the source. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
