Jesus said, “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me.” John 14:21a

Jesus teaches us that the greatest and first commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. The second is to love our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-39). When I observe these commandments, I live and move and have my being in the heart of God.

Today I will ask the Holy Spirit to guide me as I practice loving God, myself, and my neighbor with kindness, gentleness, and reverence.
