JONATHAN

Hi, I’m Jonathan Crabtree, Pastor for Student Ministry at Central United

Methodist Church in downtown Meridian. For most of Meridian and Lauderdale

county, today begins spring break – a break from school. Taking a break is good

for the body, mind, and soul. A group of people asked Jesus the most important

commandment, and His response, “Love God with all your heart, soul, and

mind…the second is like this: Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Loving God is somewhat simple because God loves us unconditionally, but

loving other people as ourselves? I think that can be difficult because not

everyone loves us in return, do they? This morning, take a break, know that God

loves you unconditionally. As you attempt to love or care for others who may not

return that same love to you, give yourself a break and know that you are doing

good work! Loving others may be difficult, but don’t give up. Because God loves

us, we can love other people.
