Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." - Matthew 22.37-40

Born Of Love
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (1 John 4.7-8, NKJV)

An Update
As I was just reviewing the overall blog, it has come to my attention that I need to make some updates as it pertains to the full extent of VOE and it's source.
In the first blog entry I had shared that VOE has multiple versions located throughout the internet. While this is still true, I have trimmed this down to one primary source, here on Blogger, and three other social sites, plus email. VOE is currently sharing updates via the following social sites:
Verses Of Encouragement (Blogger)
Google+
Facebook
Twitter (@VOEncouragement)
Email (send an email w a subject "ADD ME", to be added to the email version.)
And lastly, I had been doing this under the moniker, Aktively Inhisimage. This still exists but for other purposes at this time. I am continuing this, VOE, as myself, Matthew C. Ruffner.
I hope this clears some things up and you are able to get the most out of VOE as much as possible. As usual, simply get in touch w me for questions, concerns, comments and testimonies!

Reflecting Upon The Importance And Power Of Love
As I look to get VOE up and running again (to keep us focused and encouraged during 2012), I want to see how long I can work with the theme of love. It is deep and wide and therefore exhaustive. The only concern is my attention span. So if you like the theme and it's ministering to you and I seem to be getting lazy add a comment or email me. Here's to a fresh start!
"Love does not do harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fullness of Torah." (Romans 13.10, still working with the Complete Jewish Bible, CJB)
