After an action-packed week at Love & Care Ministries, it was nice to have a day of rest. In fact, I slept a solid 9 hours last night – I cannot remember the last time I did that!
I’m finally feeling like my mind, my body, and my soul are relaxed. I have found “…the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding….” (Philippians 4:7). And after spending a week at Love & Care, my heart is overflowing – I am eternally grateful for what God has done for me. I am blessed beyond all measure. For whatever reason, God’s hand has been on me throughout my life – He has protected me, He has guided me, and He has strengthened me. To Him be the glory!
As I reflected today on my first week with Love & Care, I kept coming back to what Jesus said was the greatest of the commandments, “…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). Jesus made it simple for us – Love Him and love others. We are not here to judge other people or to look down on them; we’re here to love others by serving them. Jesus made the precepts of life simple for us, but for whatever reason, we do everything we can to complicate it.
I pray that all of us will humble ourselves and serve/love Him and serve/love others each and every day of our lives.
Blessings and Happy New Year!!! Kris
