Matthew II: Everything

Matthew II

 

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. (Matthew 22:37,38 ESV)

 

Everything

 

Love is hard.  We prefer to love God with ALMOST all of our heart, soul, and mind. 


We hold back a bit.  We stop loving Him quite so much when He confuses us.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we are exhausted.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we are busy.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we are embarrassed.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we are hurting.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we are distracted.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we are loving something else.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we forget.  We stop loving Him quite so much when we… well… you get the idea.

 

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  Because that is how He loves us.
