Mt 22:34-40


But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sad′ducees, they came together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”

It’s time to take back your life.

It’s time to slow down to the speed of joy.

All revolutions have a moment when they begin. This is your moment.

Refocus Your Heart

Is there a word or a phrase or an idea that jumps out at you today?

For me, it's the idea of wholeheartedness. Jesus says, You shall love the Lord your God. With all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and the truth is I am not sure I'm not sure I've ever done anything wholeheartedly I've tried to do things wholeheartedly I get distracted I've poured tremendous energy and passion and purpose into things, but wholeheartedly. We talk about it, but it's a real thing and it's a difficult thing. Here's my challenge for you today: do something wholeheartedly, no matter how small. No matter how small, do something one thing wholeheartedly. Have a great day. Remember, do not just be yourself; the world tells you just be yourself. No, be the very-best-version-of-yourself. All that God created you to be.
