Living On The Edge...Loving Relentlessly

As a little girl, God placed a message in my heart. I was drawn to His two greatest commandments stated in Matthew 22:37-39: "...Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."

Even as a little child I understood that there is nothing more important than love. But knowing the greatest commandments and living them out are two different things. It has taken me half a lifetime to allow these commandments to take hold of my heart.

During the past decade, God has been removing the idols in my life so that I could love Him with all my heart. And it has been through learning to love Him with my whole heart that I have been able to learn to love myself.

Loving my self is one of the keys to loving my neighbor well. After all, the Bible clearly tells me to Love my neighbor as myself. How can I love others well, if I don't love myself? Ultimately, I am able to love others to the level I have loved and accepted my own self. As I accept myself for the uncondtionally loved daughter of God that I am, I am able to accept and unconditionally love others in the same way my Father loves me.

During my meditations the Lord has made it clear to me that my main focus should be on His love. He wants for me to stay focused on His two greatest commandments for the rest of my journey on this earth. I will obey. I will spend the rest of my life shouting to the world about the treasures I’ve found in God, living out the love of God through my words and actions. He is love and He wants the world to know that.

With the clear focus I now have for my life, I have decided to add ..."Loving Relentlessly" to the title of my blog. I have a feeling that a large portion of my writings will be about love. I will always live my life on the edge--that won't ever change. But I see now that an integral part of living dangerously on the edge happens to be: Loving relentlessly!
