Leann and Melissa talk about how feeling God’s love removes the barriers we place between ourselves and others and brings us closer to Him.

Ponder Questions:

What does keeping the first two commandments mean to me?

Am I limiting God and putting Him in a box?

How can I not limit God?

How can I lift and love others?

Do I serve others because I love and trust God?

Do I feel and recognize His love? What are the ways that I do?

How am I feeling God’s love?

What am I learning?

Am I judging others or comparing myself with others?

Am I asking God to help me see others how He sees them?

Can I change from being defensive to loving?

Am I putting my own interpretations on others’ actions?

Am I cutting down or creating connections?

Invitation:

Focus this week on loving God and others and see how that changes your week.

Ask yourself, “How do I feel God’s love?”
