L-O-V-E

If there is one thing that I've been hearing a lot it is about love. Especially during February (and we are not even on February!), this is a topic that is in the air (you know, "love is in the air"). Sometimes, we heard about it too much and we don't even realize how essential this matter is. Just last week, my mom asked me to speak at her small group on this topic and she handed me a booklet that they are following through. Man, it was a good refresh about the topic!

In Mark 12, Jesus speaks about the two greatest commandments: to love God and to love our neighbor. The reason why these are the two greatest commandments are because they summarize the law that was given to Moses. I don't really know how many commandments were given to him, but I know there were hundreds and hundreds; yet, Jesus summarizes all those hundreds in only 2!

If we love God we won't act against Him. In the same way, if we love our neighbor, we won't harm them. It's as easy as that, yet we sometimes struggle to love each other. We are just not perfect.

It's very hard to love everyone, but when we realize that we have been loved with an unmeasurable love there is no other way. I know, I'm probably number one on the list for not loving as I should, but the key is trying. So, let's try everyday.

Updates

When I started this blog, a while ago, I meant for it to be written in Spanglish. That concept didn't work too well, so I have decided that I will start another blog in Spanish (link), while at the same time keeping this one. I have done so because it's uncomfortable to be reading stuff in spanglish when you don't fully understand the other language. My purpose isn't either to write the same thing on this blog as I do on the Spanish one, I will keep them different, although from time to time I will post the same in both laguages. We will see how it goes.

So, I'm back now. I have been wanting to write a full length entry, but I haven't had the time, and honestly I want to expand on it for a little while. I'm trying to write about love. I will hopefully post it within the next week or so.
