Law of Love

There is a call in our lives to be salt and light in this world. We have the bible to scrutinize our life and it is important that we let God search our hearts frequently. When sin is there to be found (when is there not) we must confess. As we give up our right to ourselves we are able to fully be disciples of Jesus. We can fully love God with our whole lives and be the salt and light that we are commanded to be.

To live for someone else, rather than myself, is difficult because it forces me to open my eyes and recognize that I am not perfect; to recognize that everything isn't about me. It's funny how children can bring that out in us. As I watch my son struggle to share anything (because those things are his...or the word he would use "mine"), I see myself. I see, reflected in him, all the things that I have a hard time sharing. Thank God for children (or other people) to remind me of my need for a Savior.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, may we continue to abandon our agendas for God's and may we be a people who are God centered rather than self-centered.

Live under the higher law as a citizen of heaven: the law of love.

"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift."  Matthew 5:23-24
