What God said to me

You are being saved by your faith. Do not lose sight of your faith in trying to fulfill the law. Honorable living is a natural progression of obedience produced through faith. Love Me with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength – every fiber of your being. When you are totally devoted to Me, you will love others.

What I said to God

I love You, Lord. Teach me to love You more.
