Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Mathew 22:37-40
So pretty much every christian has heard this verse. Seems pretty generic not a big deal.
But when you think about it, it is pretty powerful.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart: that means no desires before Him, that the love you have for God is deeper and more passionate then any earthly thing or person.
Soul: That you are not living out of the flesh but being sensitive to the spirit at all times. Watching out out for His pulls through out each day.
Mind: Purifying yourself in the most brutal honest way. No one knows your thoughts but the Lord. Continuing to put Him first through every circumstance, creating a pure and holy life style.
I mean yes that part is important but this was the part that got me excited. If we are a hundred percent living in love with the Lord. And putting Him first in heart, soul and mind, there is NO way we could possibly not love His people. Because to love the Lord you have to love His children.
A lot to swallow, eh?
Today see where you thoughts are taking you, what your heart is beating after, what your soul is yearning for. Start directing it to the Lord, and start loving through Him, for Him.
Loving through His love,
-Naomi
