Oh my goodness! I just realized that tomorrow is the 15th... With all the hoopla that elementary school teachers still go through for Valentine's Day, I guess that's what I've been caught up with. (I hope it's okay that I technically seem to post my verses a day early... I just CAN'T get up early enough on a school day to do it on the real day!)
Anyway... I'll confess that I haven't been very disciplined lately, so I'm glad my last verse was an easy one so I haven't really fallen behind or grown discouraged. I'm thankful for a fresh start tomorrow... :)
I just read an incredible book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan, and I am feeling inspired by it along with some conversations that I've had recently. A very wise woman told me a couple of days ago that in ministry and in trying to live a life that is poured out for others, it is essential that we follow the Great Commandment first and foremost, before we ever try to love and serve our neighbors... So that's my verse:
Jamey - Morris, AL
"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." Matthew 22:37 (ESV)
I'm just realizing in a new and deeper way that everything has to start there and flow out of my love for Him...
