Go, Study.........

You can study and study and study, but it is all for naught if the information gathered doesn’t transfer into practical applications in your life. Head knowledge becomes heart action through the diligent effort to fulfill the great commandments and mission we’ve received. First, love God. Take Him into your life, mind, and heart and display His love by loving Him back with all your being. Secondly, love people. We are all His creation and are in dire need of His love, mercy, and grace. Give it to those around you in the same measure as was given to you. Finally, serve the world. Be God’s hands and feet in your environment. Show through actions, both small and large, that you care and will do for widows and orphans, for the well-to-do, for any of your fellow travelers on this planet as God wills it. God is best known by the efforts of and representation by His children. So go, study love, and spread it far and wide. Go, study compassion, and make it a goal to show it to all those with whom you come in contact, even if you think they don’t deserve it. Go, study peace, and work to bring it about not just in this season, but year ‘round.
