God actually asks very little of us when you think about it. In return for the numerous blessings and immense gifts he has given us, (hello, creating mankind and then sacrificing his son for our eternal salvation....) He primarily requests that we love Him and love one another.
What's the catch? Well, it turns out that we humans tend to mess that up all the time. We become focused on our own lives or some drama of the moment, or get caught holding on to hurt and anger , or even forget the true meaning of love entirely!
Who could you show your love and compassion for today? Make it a conscious goal to connect with others and let them know they are cherished and cared about. There is no better gift you could give someone.
After all, if John Lennon and God agree that, "All you need is love," I think we should listen.
