(Jesus continued) “The second (commandment) is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31
Lord You told this scribe the first commandment was to love the Lord. Now You are telling him to love his neighbor.
Lord we don’t have any trouble when it comes to loving You and wanting You in our lives but there are some of our neighbors that can be very hard to love. BUT You are not saying to love what they are doing or even to like what they are doing. You tell us to love them.
Thank You Lord for giving us the wisdom and power to love the unlovable.
Thank You for helping us see each person as You see them.
Thank You for teaching us how we can love them.
It is only in Your strength and Your love that we can love and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
