For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:14, ESV
We have been freed from sin and pride so that we are free to love God by loving other people through sacrifice and service.
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”
Matthew 6:25, ESV
Our biggest concern should be the destination of our souls. Knowing Christ has redeemed us by His blood should remind us that God can obviously meet our physical needs, as well.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Romans 8:26, ESV
It’s okay to not know what to pray for or how to pray, especially when we have to deal with the problems of this world. Our Lord knows our needs and and helps us in all things.
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8, ESV
We should be regularly reading, thinking on, and talking about God’s Word that we may continually work on and encourage each other in living it out.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalm 91:1-2, ESV
The Church (and therefore the people) may be the Temple of God (so we should love the Church), but it is the Lord Himself who is our hope and redemption.
that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
1 Corinthians 12:25-27, ESV
Our love of Christ should compel us to love His Body, the Church. We should live sacrificially loving each other and pushing each other closer to Christ.
My lovely bride just about hates doing the laundry. Having to hang clothes and fold linen is the bane of her existence.
Yet, she will do the laundry sometimes while I am out of the house.
Because she loves me.
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.
Proverbs 31:25 ESV
Why do I discuss this?
Apparently, the twelfth wedding anniversary is the linen anniversary. (Silk apparently works for 12, too.)
And we have made it.
I love this wonderful woman of God.
Happy Anniversary, Wonderful Woman!
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant
1 Corinthians 13:4, ESV
Love is an action, and that action wants what is best for others and patiently waits on them.
Like Christ dying for us and coming again soon.
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”
John 14:1, ESV
God is in control. He sent His Son at just the right time in history to save us, and Jesus is coming back.
Believe and hope.
