Love

A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Matt. 22:39 NLT)

After love the Lord your God with all your heart, this is the second greatest commandment.  I've been thinking about this today.  Love your neighbor as yourself.  Then you listen to the news reports of people blowing people up.  Sanctity of life for unborn children has been traded in for the morning after pill & abortion.  Handshakes have been given up in favor of flipping someone off.  The elderly have been pushed off to the side.  Instead of "paying it forward" it's "look out for yourself." Now I don't think that is everywhere &I do think we can turn it around but I think the time is now.  We've lost sight of the two most important commandments for too long.  When they again become priorities in our lives, change for the good will happen.  What can you do today to show someone that love that might even inspire them to pass it on?  Who can you stand up for, encourage, & lift up?  You can be the spark to start the change.  You can show love to someone.  You might be just who someone needs today!
