precious in His sight...

"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen." 1 John 4:12

... because the Bible tells me so.

All God's commands hinge on these two:
Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul;
Love your neighbor as yourself

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it!
