Matthew 22:37-40 (NLT)
37 Jesus replied, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Good Morning Father,
Day 1 of 21 days of prayer and fasting, a season of consecration. I adore you so much Lord, I love you with all my heart, soul and all my mind. Setting all of me before you this morning. Mindful of the second commandment, to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Much love to go around this morning, its starts inside of me, works its way outside of me. Lord, permit me to share this incredible love with those you place in my path. Today, our Nation remembers Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His legacy, his love, his discipline, his response to his enemies. We can all set our love on our friends and our good neighbors, but not all neighbors are good and the emphasis was never on their goodness but more on our commitment to this commandment to love!
A man who hates cannot love, both darkness and light cannot dwell inside of a man. Either we are children of the day or children of the night, to have our feet in both the night and the day, place us nowhere. There is nothing profitable about being lukewarm. Make me hot, make me cold, but don't make me lukewarm. Jesus, my love is hot, the burning desire in me to love comes from YOUR spirit at work in me. Thank you for that. I get the reality of hate, hate can rise when we least expect it. Betrayed...CRUCIFIED, no one knows more than you that men can be very hateful. None of that mattered to you, your agenda surpasses the hatred of men. They knew not what they were doing, but YOU DID!
