“God did not tell us follow Him because He needed our help, but because He knew that loving Him would make us whole.”

                            -St. Irenaeus of Lyons
For Reflection:

Think about this in terms of love and obedience in all relationships. What do I think is the connection between wholeness and loving God? In light of this what one concrete resolution am I willing to make today regarding obedience to God?
