John said, "From beginning to end, Jesus' days were marked by his love for His people." God, I am not like that. I hope you can change me to be like You.
I now assert that since God commanded me to love Him and to love my wife, Veck, anything I think, say or do that is not loving to either God or Veck is sin.
I am thinking of Abram, when You called him to be uprooted and be transplanted to a different land. He obeyed You without hesitation, no matter how difficult Your command was. And when You blessed him and his descendants forever he built You an altar.
All commands are to be turned to obedience. All blessings are to be turned to worship. And if my voice and body are Your temple, then my pen and paper is the altar I shall worship You on.
God, thank You for loving me from beginning to end.
