"(Jesus) answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27 (NIV)
Today, as you look at the start of a new year, don’t overwhelm yourself with resolutions you cannot keep.
Consider this: When you look back at 2013, do you want to be the same person you were at the start of the year?
Keep first things first, honor God and honor others.
What does that look like?
Spend more time investing in relationships and going after that which is eternal.
The temporal things will fade away, but relationships with God and others will last forever.
Invest in that which brings forth good fruit!
Have family dinners, games nights, date nights with your spouse, and weekend getaways with those who build you up!
Let’s make 2013 the year of getting back to basics…love God. Love others. You really cannot do one without doing the other!
Heavenly Father, You created me for the here and the now. You placed me on this earth for such a time as this. There are precious people you will place in my path this day and this year. I want to be deliberate and intentional about loving them and reaching out in tangible ways. I know nothing in life matters more than loving You and loving others. I choose to set my eyes upon that which is eternal.
