FaithWeaver Friends!

Last night was my first night to be at FaithWeaver Friends with everyone and I had so much fun! I was reflecting on the lesson we learned tonight and I was thinking how awesome our God that we serve is. He is so worthy of our praise and love. Our lesson tonight was on the Big Ten, the Ten Commandments. The story taught us that if we love and honor God we should obey Him no matter how tough it is.

Our verse for the evening was:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you
today are to be upon your hearts” (Deuteronomy 6:5-6).

God wants us to love Him with all that we are and all that we have. He asks that we take His commandments or rules and put them on our heart. That means He wants us to make them a part of us or to make it a routine for us to follow Him. Sort of like when we wake up in the morning we know that we need to brush our teeth and get clothes on soon we don't have to think or be reminded it is just something we do. That is like it should be for us following God's rules. We may sometimes forget to brush our teeth and we may sometimes forget one of God's rules and that is okay. He just asks for us to do our best.

Read: Exodus 20:1-17 and Matthew 22:34-40
