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.'
Mark 12:31 The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love. Beloved, let us love one another … First John 4:7 and 8
The first kiss. A moment of great danger.

Inertia God asks us to be real in relationships … this is risky.
“... but I have pizza on my breath, too!” God asks us to be real in relationships … this is risky. It is risky to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. It is risky to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is risky to love one another as Jesus loved us. It is risky to be honest to God and to others... but it's worth it.
Inertia God asks us to be real. Is what you reveal … real?
