Saints love God – so they can’t help but live well

Morning: Psalm 66; Isaiah 28:9-16; Ephesians 4:1-16
Evening: Psalms 116, 117; Isaiah 4:2-6; John 14:15-31

“If you love me you will keep my commandments.”  This is not Jesus being whiny, like, ‘Show me you love me … do as I say.’  It’s the other way around … ‘Love me and what I love and you will live well ... you won’t be able to help yourself!’  Today is St. Simon and St. Jude’s Day.  Jesus taught Jude that if anyone loves God, God will live in them and in their actions.  Saints don’t spend their lives doing good … they spend their lives learning to love God and what God loves.
