Invitation to Love

Jesus says the “Greatest Commandment” is to love God with our whole being and neighbors as ourselves. Love in the New Testament is often a verb and implies action on our part. This action is driven not by emotion but by our choice to act in ways that seek the wellbeing of others. Fear and worry that we are not worthy often get in the way of our making this decision. When we recognize that we make a life by what we give, the barriers are removed and we can give freely of ourselves to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors through love.
