Matthew 22:37 - 40 (NKJV)

Jesus said to him, "Your shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, this is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

John 13:34 & 35 (NKJV)

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.

Jesus did not request that we love others, that we walk in the love of our Lord and Savior, He commanded that we love one another as He loves us, make this day your day of obedience, see those around you as Jesus sees you, as the Apostle John so eloquently stated, "I am the one Jesus loves!"

Abba, Father we love You because You first loved us (1 John 4:19) and we will love others as You have loved us because it is Your commandment; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
