Scripture writing - Romans 13:9-10

Scripture:
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Observations:
Verse 9- The 10 commandments are based upon the principle of loving others as one’s self following Love God above all else.
Verse 10- The law is founded upon love. Love cares about others and doesn't cause harm to others.

Application:
All the commandments are based on love. Love God. Love others as yourself.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Help me to love others as I love myself and to love you above anything else.
In Jesus’s name,
Amen

Prompt: "The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit." Nelson Henderson What are your thoughts about this quote?

Life’s meaning is different for different people just like their sense of purpose. I do not place the value of my life upon how many trees I plant. This is not my life’s meaning. If taken figuratively, I can see this as a good principle to follow. Figuratively, I could see this meaning that you should give to not expect anything in return. Life is so much more than that though. Life’s meaning for me is found living in Jesus Christ.

Today on my return trip from the starbase I saw a shining star and explored a planet there. Shaye (654) wrote a beautiful poem with

Stars  (E) Shining bright #2047246 by Shaye

What do you think of stars?

Sometimes it can be relaxing to look up at the stars at night. I have always had an infatuation with the sky, day or night. It is like God paints us a new picture there all the time. I have seen so much beauty in the sky. When I was in my youth, I enjoyed sitting on the front porch, listening to the crickets, and looking at all the stars above.

Did or do you have a writing mentor? Do or did you find it helpful? Would you advise others to get one?

I do have a couple of mentors. Yes, mentoring is always helpful if you are willing to learn.
