“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your might.”
-Deuteronomy
6:5
What does it mean to love…?
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to
speak to woman suffering from a very aggressive form of cancer. Looking at her, I could see so many things
that she could have been upset about. I
certainly would not blame her if she felt angry or resentful in her current
condition. However, when I walked into
her home, I was met with a smile. This
woman was grateful for the communion I brought to her and the time to worship
and pray. She had love, and she offered
love… and that was all she needed to have joy.
The only question she had related to why so many healthy people in this
world seemed so distressed. Sometimes,
when we are surrounded by blessings, it is easy to forget what really matters.
I hope we can take a little time today to
count our blessings. Opening our eyes to
God’s Love reminds us of what truly matters.
We are loved, and we can love.
Knowing this and offering what we have is the definition of a fulfilled
life…
Blessings!
Brian
