Breakfast For Your Soul

And he answering said, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
[Luke 10:27]

Good Afternoon Beloved,

How are you today?  Well, one thing I know is that you’re blessed.  Your blessing in not based on how your feel or what you have.  You are blessed because God calls you blessed.  As a child of God one of your privileges is the favor that He has placed on you.  To know Him is to love Him.  The love we have for Him will never match the love He has for us… but we can try.  The more of His Word we ingest, the more we receive, the more like Him we will become.  He told us to love our neighbor as ourself. One smarty pants in the bible asked Jesus, “who is my neighbor?”.  Jesus told the story of the “Good Samaritan”.  Remember, there was great hostility between the Samaritans and the Jewish people.  They would go out of their way to avoid a Samaritan.  That is why this story is so amazing.  Everyone else that should have helped this poor Jewish man, left him dying along the side of the road.  This Samaritan gentleman took the time to, not only help this fellow, but to do so at great expense to himself.  He became personally as well as financially invested in this stranger’s welfare.  He was also a trusting man.  Remember, he told the inn-keeper to take care of the injured man, and if he needed additional money, he would pay him when he returned.  That was love in action.  Thankfully, there are folks like that among us today… people who are living our their faith everyday and sharing the love of God where they are..Love with legs!

… that Beloved is Good News….   

U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Evening

Regina
