"And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."
2 John 1:5-6
This is a good reminder that the root of all the commandments is love... loving God, loving others, and understanding and loving ourselves enough to know that following God's commandments is the path to our best selves.
Today, let's rely on that understanding and go forth in love, which is the core of everything that God is, and teaches... not a permissive love that encourages sin or "whatever we want," but a deeper love that encourages us to overcome our faults and triumph over our weaknesses.
