This was the very first design and still influences me today. A few years ago I asked God, “So you want me to love you with all my heart, soul, mind and strength” From this verse in Mark 12:30, And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

However, what is love? The answer is revealed in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Then God showed me this design with this well known verse in the letters of love. God has shown me a way to remember how to love.å

I have not known love and I didn’t know how to love. I have been so broken, dysfunctional and hurt. I am so thankful for this picture, a gift from God to help me to love.
