Deuteronomy 6:1-9; Mark 12:28-34
“This Table teaches us not to be afraid of the cost of love, not to be afraid of grief. This Table teaches us the beautiful symmetry of love doing what it does best—not giving up. Love doesn’t quit, love doesn’t die—it knows how to hold on, it knows how to let go, it knows how to grow things in hard places and soft places, it knows how to work in the shadows, and it knows how make the impossible within our reach.”
