Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"I have loved you with an everlasting love…"
Jeremiah (31:3).

Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, a rabbi and musician who
died in the 1990s, often said: "We need to teach our
kids to love God, but it's even more important to teach
how much God loves them!" It's so important to teach
our kids and to know ourselves how much we are loved
by God. This knowledge cannot be underestimated.
People who know they are loved by God know that
they are valuable and loveable no matter what anyone
else says. People with that knowledge will have the
courage to do what is right and the resolve to treat
themselves right. Moreover, they will have the love to
pass on to others and give back to God.

So as you go through your day, remember –
God loves you! More than any of us will ever know.

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
