The Week of February 5, 2024

In Case You Missed It

THIS WEEK IN THE CHRISTIAN AUTHORS NETWORK

Love God, Love Others

“Jesus replied: ‘“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.”’”

— Matthew 22:37-39

This month, we are focusing on the topic of love, specifically what it looks like to love God and love others. The Scripture above tells us that we ought to love God with all of our “heart, soul, and mind” and that it is “the greatest commandment” given to us. A very close second is to love our neighbor as ourselves.

To explore this theme, we’ll meditate on the true meaning of the word “love” and how God fulfills the very definition of it through His character. We’ll also spend some time looking at how we can actively and practically love our neighbors so we are reflecting God’s love at all times. Download the February Success Guide below to start studying and sharing God's love! 💕

Your Challenge: As we focus on our theme of loving God and others, spend some time in reflection about what that looks like to you, and then write three love letters—one to God, one to yourself, and one to someone special in your life. 

There is no obligation to share the contents of these letters publicly, but we encourage you to share how the writing experience helps you to better understand or express God’s love. Watch for our weekly challenge posts to join in the discussion!
