Learning to Love God

Love God - Love Others

And Jesus replied to him, “You shall love the lord your god with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

The second is like it, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for others].” Matthew 22:37, 39 AMP

Hum…Am I truly living out this command – are you?

I ask myself who is my neighbor and do the see God’s Love in me? Do they see the Light of Jesus shining in me? Only with His help can I walk worthy.

God took all the commands and laws and summarized them into two critical points: love God and love others. That’s because His love in us heals and transforms us— and His love through us heals and transforms the world around us. Imagine how much He has entrusted to us! We can’t help but share His perfect love and help others be made whole. What a gift! That’s why God wants us to keep growing in loving others well.

Learning to love God first— and loving Him so completely that you love Him with every fiber of your heart, soul, and mind— is a lifelong process.

It comes from daily meeting with Him, seeking Him, and allowing Him to change your heart to be more like His. Learning to love others next is how we cooperate with Jesus and His mission to win the lost and disciple others.

As you continue to grow in loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind, show your love for Him by loving those around you. Fulfill the greatest commandments. Love God. Love others.

Be the love of Jesus everywhere you go.

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...
