What’s most important in life?
There are a lot of ways to interpret and answer that question—but also different ways to ask it.
Back when Jesus walked the earth, someone asked it this way:
“Which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus’ reply is stunning.
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:36-40)
According to Jesus, what matters most when all is said and done is our love for God and for others. I love reflecting on that truth, and I love hearing others’ perspectives on it, too. I post poetry, devotions, books, and more in hopes that we’ll draw nearer to Jesus together as we seek to align our perspectives with His.
Joy in Jesus,
