Matthew 22:36-40 NKJV
[36] “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” [37] Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ [40] On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets.”

God has commanded us to love one another. Including those we may be uncomfortable around. That are broken down to their lowest point. That we have no connection with. The challenge is to see others through the ense of Christ and love in a way that glorifies God and not ourselves.

“God must do everything for us. Our part is to yield and trust.”

“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, ‘Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.” – A.W. Tozer

COT:
Johann Sebastian Bach is said to have walked about 250 miles (400 km) from Arnstadt to Lübeck in 1705 to meet and learn from the famous organist and composer Dieterich Buxtehude.

How often are we willing to put in the work spiritually, professionally, or personally? Bach was a prodigy and was willing to do it. Part of today’s workout was to come out and sweat. The guys that completed the real Bataan Death March were surviving…so today wasn’t about time or racing but about finishing…and a lot of guys did.

Great work today men!
