To Fulfill the Law of Christ

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."
~ Galatians 6:2

What is the law of Christ?

It is LOVE:
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 - If I have not love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:13 - The greatest is love.
1 Corinthians 14:1 - Follow the way of love.
Matthew 22:37 - Love God, love people.
Matthew 5:44 - Love your enemies
1 John 4:7-8 - Love one another because love comes from God. All who love are born of God and know God. Whoever doesn't love doesn't know God because God IS love.
2 John 6 - His command is that you walk in love

Who I'm Not

I'm not who I could be.
I'm not who I should be.
I'm not who I need to be.
I'm not who I have been
Or who I will be.

On Potential

"Has anyone ever said about you, 'He has so much potential'? If you're under twenty - let's give you twenty-five - consider it a compliment. Potential - your untapped or unlocked capacity. Potential - the hint of greatness not yet developed. 'He has so much potential' - a statement of praise and maybe even adoration. And then you're thirty, and you still have all this potential. Pressing forty, and you're still full of potential. If you're forty-five and someone looks at you and says, 'You have so much potential,' pause, excuse yourself, step into a closet, and have a good cry."

Erwin McManus from his book Chasing Daylight

"Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, 'The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?'
"Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, 'Take off his filthy clothes.' Then he said to Joshua, 'See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.'"

~ Zechariah 3:1-4

Thank you, LORD, that You stand in my defense against Satan's accusations.
Thank you, LORD, that You love and defend me despite my filthy rags.
Thank you, LORD, that You have taken away my sin.
Thank you, LORD, that You cover me with You.
