And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Luke 10.29
Find life
Jesus commends the answer of the lawyer. If you want to live right, then love God with all you are and all you have and love your neighbour.
Do this and you will live. It’s simple; or is it?
Stop and Think
What does life mean for you?
What does it mean for you to live well and to live life to the full?
In what sense, for you, is love at the heart of life and the key to life?
Choose to Act
Take time today to think about what you have learned this week. Pray that you will find life in seeking to love.
Choose the simplicity of ‘doing this’, of love in action.
I find that, even with the best intentions, it is so difficult in our modern world, with so many things clamouring for our attention all the time and the feeling that we can never catch up, to "take time" and to stop and think....
ReplyDeleteI am always conscious of work to be done, jobs to be done, things that I should be doing ... and it is really difficult to switch off from these to take time to try and work out what loving my neighbour might mean.
