Our hall display has been changed again to encourage us to reflect on what God is like and what this means to us in our personal relationship with him.
It also helps us to reflect on how we should be to others.
Jesus gives us a clear sense of direction of how we should relate to others when he reminds us of the most important aspects of the commandments:
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
As we continue to consider our theme of HOPE this week we focus on what it is for us to prosper and to have HOPE not just as individuals, but also as a community.
The opportunity to take a few moments to reflect on the characteristics of God and how important these are in our relationships with each other would seem to be a good starting point for what leads to prosperity and to HOPE, both in our own lives and the lives of those we are called to treat as neighbours.
