“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: ” ‘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.’ Matthew 22:36-39
If I had to wrap up this weekend, I would honestly say we were blessed to experience the greatest commandments. All weekend long while Gerardo and I spent most of our weekend at the LifeChurch.tv South OKC campus, we were surrounded by love for Him and love for each other. This love has changed our lives and the lives of so so many involved.
(I must point out, though, that we can’t successfully try to love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our mind. But that’s where His love comes in, and if we surrender our efforts and desires to Him, He’ll take care of it for us! And in order to allow Him to work fully during Easter, tons of prep and hardwork were involved.)
Not only did those of us on staff and volunteering experience it all, lives are changing because of it!!! God worked through His love in some many people and families this Easter weekend. Thank you, Lord, for letting us be a part!!!
Libby, I totally agree with you on this! It was truely amazing to see how God’s love was flowing thru everyone this weekend!!!
