Today's Meditation...

Lately, I've felt challenged to come up with a statement that sums up my faith as concisely as I can. I thought it best to quote the Master - after all, He's the One I worship and serve.

His response when asked to state the greatest command:

"'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."


I don't want to lose sight of the goal...

And that is THE goal, after all.

Amen and amen.

If we all could conceive that we are individual alone in the universe because of a unique creation. But it doesn't mean that we are meant to be alone.
Friends will leave us, family will depart from us, issues will divide us, trust will desert us, but the truest love of all will remain... Our Creator!
Who can we love above this?
