Quote of the Week, 1/15/25
“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor,” C.S. Lewis advises, but rather “act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets: when you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.”
from How to Forgive the Unforgiveable, By Mitch Teemley
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31 NIV
In His Love, Cindy

Amen to that! So often, the feelings follow the actions. If we act in obedience to God (even stiff-necked obedience), He will bless.

Yes! Love is expessed through our actions.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Blessings, Kathy!
