Something To Read . . .

Deuteronomy 6:5-9

“Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”

Something To Try For Yourself . . .
  • Do a random act of love to someone in your life this week. Share what happened, or how you felt.
  • Ask God if there is someone you need to forgive in your life. If you forgave someone, share what happened or how you felt.

Be ready to report to your group (or online), what you have done here.

Something To Pray About . . .
  • Decide to pray every day that you might love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Ask Him for help to help you do it.
  • Decide to pray every day that you would love your neighbor as yourself, and ask God for an opportunity.
  • Pray that God would reveal His purpose in your life.
One Last Thought . . .

Remember to make it a priority to read the Bible every day. If we listen, God will use it to speak to us… if we listen.
