In Luke 10:27, Jesus calls us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind and our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus himself was an exemplary example of this commandment. He spent time in prayer with the Father and met the vulnerable of society with love and miracles. In our postmodern age of narcissism and relativism, Jesus' example stands in stark contrast. As children of God, we need to spend time with God daily and experience his love - keeping our pot of love boiling - so that both we and the hungry can satisfy their hunger. Does your kitchen smell like heavenly food or is the flame about to go out?
Time is something we have received from God and something we pass on to each other. Use the favorable moment, tell of God's great love and don't forget those who are persecuted for their righteousness.
