Love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as your self.
Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind….love your neighbor as yourself.” Matt.37-39
Daniel Fast 2012: Day Seven
Dear Family & Friends,
As Arden & I prayed and talked about some of our goals for the fast this
year, the above verse seemed to ring out loud and clear. We desire to love
the Lord with everything in us, and as a result, those around us. One thing
we do that helps us know and love God better is simply acknowledging and
thanking Him throughout various times of the day. For example, when we are
taking a walk together around the neighborhood, we look up and marvel at the
sky or trees and thank Him for His creation. We also do this at every
sunset, because we have sliding doors that open to a deck looking out to the
west. There is such beauty in every sunset, and we take the time to
acknowledge our Father, the Creator of each one, thanking Him. This often
leads to praise and prayer/intercession, as we bask in His Spirit.
One thing we have done in the past to help others know and love God better
is open our home to our neighbors for dinner, or just a night of fun and
fellowship. By sharing a meal or playing a game with our neighbors we can
share the love of God in us with our neighbors and create a loving, caring
community on our block, or in our neighborhood. We hope to do more of this
in the coming year, so that we can continue to build a network of friends
within the family of God in our neighborhood.
God bless you as you continue to fast and seek His face during this Daniel
fast, 2012!
