Matthew 22:34-40

I woke up at 5AM once again trying to make some sense of the meaning of my life…..I have been married 4 times, the first lasted 24 years. The next two lasted 8 months each with 10 years between them, all three were alcoholics. I had been sexually molested at the age of 8 and it had left me to badly scarred to believe I was worthy to be loved and unable to make boundaries to protect myself. I am now married to a normal, non violent, home body that I am equally yoked with. We have been married 3 and a half years and it took awhile for me to see that all men were not the same. I now understand marital love in the way that God intended but I am saddened by the truth that I did not understand the men I married behind the pain of their demons and addiction. Through it all my only hope and my only rock was God……without Him I would not be here today!

Satan takes our weaknesses and uses them to destroy us. My Father has taken what Satan meant to destroy me and turned it to my good…..Praise be to the One who loves us most!! I love You Daddy!!

The Ten Commandments can be divided into two categories: those dealing with love for God (the first four Commandments) and those dealing with responsibilities toward other people (the last six Commandments). The same may be said for all the Law and the Prophets.

The Greatest Commandment

34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"

37 Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
