Love

"Don't let anyone tell you you're not important or that you have no influence" 
- Mother Angelica, EWTN Network

One of the best ways to preach is by not preaching at all. Our actions, how we live our lives, should be clear examples of God in our lives, Jesus in our hearts and the Holy Spirit in our walk.

Jesus says... “You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with all your mind” (Deuteronomy 6:5).  “This is the greatest and first commandment.  The second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Leviticus 19:18).

Love is the key word in both commandments. When we truly love, as God loves us, we then love through a spiritual grace and not by our own human definition of love. "The kind of wholehearted love Jesus is talking about is charity (agape), which means loving God for his own sake and all others for his sake, and doing so not by human strength, but with the divine love that is poured into our heart by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). When we love others with charity, we love God through them.  Our every loving act towards them becomes an expression of our love for God." 
-Dr. Marcellino D'Ambrosio, www.crossroadsinitiative.com

If you're unclear, repeat this phrase (or one that comes from your heart) asking for understanding of what this means for you.
"Come Holy Spirit, show me the love that God has for me" 

John 3:16 ""For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God Bless and Receive the Blessing of the United Hearts.
