Sojourners Verse and Voice – 13 July 2023

Verse of the day
And ‘to love God with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength’ and ‘to love one’s neighbor as oneself’—this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

– Mark 12:33

Voice of the day
Weep before you speak / think before you eat / How you love a country’s food more than its people?

– KB, “Long Live the Champion” 

Prayer of the day
Lord, too often our desire to show that we’re loving our neighbor gets in the way of us actually loving our neighbor. May we reject a love that is self-centered and public-facing.
