Last meeting Ice breaking in a Sunday school class. Service is a must (St Luke 11:23 and St Matthew 12:30) I serve because I love. “ALL”..... in my life!

Which Is the First Commandment of All? “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these.” St Mark 12 : 29 (Deuteronomy 6 & 10, Matthew 22:37, Luke 10:27)

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

All.... Your ! This commandment is a perfect. What is “All” for you and others!

Do we love God? Yes we do ! But... Do we love Him correct? (1) There are wrong ways to love God: – Fragile love (2) – Loving something else more than the Lord. (3) – Loving myself more than the Lord, but hiding in the Lord (4)

How to love the Lord? We agreed that we are not perfect in our love. So how to grow in this love? First : i have to find out where i am standing now. Second : Check myself if i am growing or same as always. (1) Third : What go i love more than the Lord?

Mangosteen

Heavenly Fruit He tried to describe it to her, but she commented “I want to taste, you keep talking, but I want to taste it.” It is nothing I have ever tasted before. It is indescribable delicious. It is difficult to explain.

How Mangosteen tastes ? When would you know how it tastes ?

Summary : We love God, but we need to love Him more ( From “All” our heart). To be able to love God we need: – Hate sin from all our heart. – Don’t justify my sin. (1) – Don’t blame others ( even evil ). (2) – Be very sensitive against committing any sin. (3) – Run away from evil. (4) – Run away from things which might seem to be right. (5)

Summary : To be able to love God we need: – Ask Him to teach us how to love Him. – Establish a private relationship with God to taste His love and taste Eternity.

Our Golden Rule ! 1 Corinthians 13 : 1 - 8

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. Amen Make us worthy to pray thankfully: Our Father Who art in heaven
