I have always been a very active member of my church. I was put in Vacation Bible school the first moment that I was old enough to register. My parents taught my Logos class and I did logos from elementary to jr. high. I went to all of the summer and winter camps and I considered myself a champ for Christ.
In 4th grade, the most exciting part of being in logos bible camp, was the fact that we got to paint a tile with our favorite Bible verese some where on it. I was really big into art, so this meant everything to me.
The lesson that week was on Luke 10:27. I painted a bright sunset on the tile and wrote Luke 10:27 in cursive on it. I was so excited to present it to my parents. "Then the man answered, 'Love the Lord your God, with all of your strength, with all of your heart, with all of your soul and all of your mind. And love thy neighbor as you would yourself.'"
I have since tried to live my life by that verse, treating others the way that I would want to be treated. And fully committing my love to God in every area of my life.
The little tile that I created still is displayed proudly in my parent's kitchen, it is a constant reminder to me and my family. And although it is washed out now and the colors are not as bright as it once was, it stands as bright as ever on some of my darkest days.

This is precious. Such a powerful verse. We have to love HIM with EVERYTHING because HE has given up EVERYTHING. Thanks friend :)
