scripture
Matthew 19:21
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
thought
Brennan Manning said that maybe we have highlighters so we can pay attention to what we like and ignore the rest. If that is not true then what are we doing about this verse?
scripture
Psalm 23:1-6
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
quote
Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love has neither brim nor bottom.

scripture
1 John 4:19-21
We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
thoughts
He who has been forgiven much should also forgive much.

scripture
Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy times seven.”
Read the parable Jesus presented to further illiterate this teaching.
thoughts
The world likes the idea of love but only if it does cost anything, only if it is easy. God calls us to love until it hurts and then to love some more.
