Verses for Everyday Faith

Love God with everything, and love people well. That's the center.

A Bible affirmation for everyday faith, rooted in Matthew 22:37-39.

Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

Matthew 22:37-39 · BSB

Reflection

Asked which commandment was the greatest, Jesus summed up the whole law in two: love God with all your heart, soul and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. Everything else hangs on those two.

A prayer

Lord, help me love You with all of me, and love the people near me as myself.
