A Heart-felt Covenant

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Jesus Teaches Us to Love One Another

Leviticus 19:11-18 New International Version

11 “‘Do not steal.
“‘Do not lie.
“‘Do not deceive one another.
12 “‘Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
13 “‘Do not defraud or rob your neighbor.
“‘Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight.
14 “‘Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the Lord.
15 “‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
16 “‘Do not go about spreading slander among your people.
“‘Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life. I am the Lord.
17 “‘Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt.
18 “‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

For Reflection

So there you have it, all the don'ts!
So what about the dos?  Only one, love.  Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart mind and soul, and love others as you love yourself.  Not hard to remember but takes diligence in practice.

Pray

Pray often and long so that you remember to love everybody all the time.
