"And you shall love the Lord your God with all of heart, with all of your soul, with all of your mind and with all of your strength. This is the first and the great commandment. And second, like it, is this: you shal love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." Mark 12: 30 - 31
As we move into this second Monday of our Daniel Fast, I thought it would be important to bring our focus back to the areas of emphasis for our fasting season. This can be found on our website under the guidleines for the Daniel Fast. The first area of emphasis was greater love for God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Bethel family and each other. It was also the prayer that there would be greater family prayer and togetherness.
We were blessed yesterday with a unique privelege to gather at the altar to specifically pray for those who are sick in our midst. Healing happened because we desired to seek the move of God's Spirit. You and I can't tell God that we love Him enough. if we do nothing else, perhaps we should express our love to God everyday through our words, actions and lifestyle. Have you told God that you loved Him today?
Have you told someone you loved them today through the action of extending and invitation to Christ, to worship, to fellowship? The sacrifices of love are rewarded by the expressions of love. Today, let's keep our focus on love as God moves in our midst lifting us to greater expressions of love. Tomorrow's focus, spiritual enlightenment- "Only God be Glorified"
