Ruth 1:1-18 • Wherever you will go I will follow.
Mark 12:28-34 • You shall love your Lord with all your heart.

How did you come to learn how to love yourself, and others? The love that Ruth shows to Naomi is an example of her steadfast love of another, but it is not at the expense of self-love. Following Jesus, and believing in God does not mean we are not allowed to love ourselves. Like all things in faith we need to hold this in tension, love of self and love of other. Devotion to God comes when we accept the love that God has offered each one of us. How will we choose to show our love to God?
