There is a mirror hidden away in one of the rooms of our house. Nobody is using the mirror, although it is hanging neatly on the wall. (The mirror is tucked away in a dark corner behind a door, that is most of the time open, and lots of stuff is in front of it. I can only guess who put it there.)
There is a letter in the Bible, probably written by James, and James likens the Bible to a mirror. (James 1:23-25)
Maybe there is a Bible hidden away in your home nobody is using. Please find it and read it.
James says the Bible is like a mirror. We look into this mirror and see a true reflection of ourselves. This reflection is portrayed by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
This is what James says in James 1:23-25:

“love that car” says the the big poster advertising Mitsubishi cars.

“Love NZ” I am reading on the recycle receptacle for Plastic, Glass and Cans on Commerce Street in Kaitaia. “Recycle with care.”
Let’s do it!
We are commanded to love!
We are commanded to love God. We are commanded to love our neighbour. Our heart must love God. Our soul must love God. Our mind must love God. We must love our neighbour as we love ourself.
Let’s be obedient to the greatest commandment in the law!
