Morning: Psalm 103; Acts 2:36-41; I Corinthians 15:12-28
Evening: Psalms 111, 114; John 14:15-31
In different ways, Jesus repeats that if you love him, you will live by his Way. Your good actions do not win love; they are your duty. Rather, your love inspires your good actions. Love comes first; it is the source of the Creation, the fountain of goodness. You do not have to be good to be loved; but when you love, you cannot help doing all the good you wanted to do but could not. Goodness is impossible without love. Just being told to do the right thing does not ensure that you will. Love is the guarantee.
