Love Outweighs Rules
Jesus asks us to love in ways that don’t seem instinctual. We try to define that love by putting rules around it, but the only regulation He gave us was to love God then love our neighbors as ourselves. This kind of love seems contrary to rules, but Jesus came to make sure our focus is on Him and not a rule, regulation, or law. Would you rather be known for the way you love or the rules you keep? Love outweighs rules.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37-40)
![Somehow, I ended up solo tonight. I was already deep in the process of food prep for dinner, and almost bailed when I found out I'd be the only one eating it. But after finishing my first #whole30 last month, I decided I'm worth the effort - even if it's just ME - and continued making my in-depth recipe (which I would have NEVER done just a few months ago). Not only that, I decided to double the recipe so I could share the surplus with a #cleaneating friend who is recovering from surgery.

This is my favorite Whole 30 meal:
•Creamy Bacon Garlic Spaghetti from @paleoglutenfreeeats
•Zesty Ranch Smashed Potatoes from @realfoodwithdana
•#DumpRanch from @wholesisters

[Thank you again, @mwannall, for roping me into Whole 30 and changing my life. I love you, sister!]
