This week in our study, we are focusing on chapter three in "Crazy Love", by Francis Chan. I'm so excited for all of our ladies and for all the truths that we will learn. This study takes a personal view within our own hearts regarding how we are following the greatest commandment: Love God, Love Others.
Jesus said in Matthew 22: 36-40 that the greatest commandment is to“‘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." This seems easy, but the circumstances of life combined with our inherent disposition of being selfish creatures by nature, can be our greatest hindrance in obeying this truth from Christ. Sure, it's easy to dismiss our own faults and rely on an eternally loving God to forgive us of our sins, but what about us bestowing that same grace towards others who are just as faulty as we are? There is where the problem lies and there is where the challenge arises.
We are so excited to partake in this spiritual adventure! We know that with God's help and Chan's advice, we will learn, practice and grow in loving God and loving others- always being prayerful that our lives are being a bright witness for Christ! I hope you all will let the Lord do the same within you!
Enjoy the Journey!
