LOVE GOD AND LOVE PEOPLE
Let all that you do be done with love.
1
Corinthians 16:14
The
reasons why you do all that you do matter. Why do you do ministry? Why are you
in that business? Why are you working in that job? Why are you in that
relationship? Your reason for doing all that you do should be because you love
God and you love people.
Life
is all about relationships. Life is all about loving God and loving people.
Your order should be God first, people second and you third. That will make you
happy. That will give you JOY: Jesus, others, you.
Jesus
said to him, “’You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these
two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew
22:37-40
If
you put God first then you should spend time with Him and you will have a
healthy relationship with Him. If you put people second then you should spend
time with them and you will have a healthy relationship with others. If you put
yourself third then you should spend time with yourself and you will have a healthy
relationship with yourself.
Nurture
your relationships because relationships is all you have; relationships are
eternal. When you go to heaven God will be there, others will be there and you
will be there.
For
our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians
4:20
Thought
of the day: Life is about relationships.

I’m full of love, I love God and I love people.
