Thursday after Ash Wednesday
The greatest commandment in the Holy Bible is to love your
God above all else. One way to show our love for him is walking in his ways
which are always good. When we walk in his ways, read his word, and put him
first, God blesses our steps and helps us mature spiritually, mentally and
emotionally. However, if we turn away from him, we go down a path of
destruction. Hold fast to the Father. Put him first in your life and the rest
follows. Turn away from your sin, and away from bad counsel and trust in the
Lord. Follow God every day and it will last an eternity.

When I feel discouraged, I pray and ask the Lord to show me
the purpose of my life. I ask him to encourage me to live for him and to love
his people as Christ loves us. When I look through Christ-like eyes and
read his word, the world no longer looks like a dark place - he brightens it.
Especially in nursing, which is a grueling job and subject to study, I can see
in my patients' eyes the vulnerability they have and the love they need.
This is like each of us. God loves us unconditionally and sometimes in our
vulnerability and discouragement, we forget that no sin is
too unforgivable because he is always forgiving. I encourage you this
season to hold onto the Lord and his promises. Trust in the plan he has for you
and put him first, denying all else. Seek him first. He promises that all
things will be added to us. Come lay at his feet, and you will never
be left alone. Let his love fill you up and then share it with others. Remember
no matter who you are and what you have done, God’s love is always greater.
