You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
Matthew 22:37 (ESV)
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Reflection
Reflection by Robert Driskell
We read in Deuteronomy 6:5, the core duty of every human being is, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” We also see this reiterated in the New Testament by Jesus Himself. This is the core foundation of human existence; to love God first. When one bases their life on any other foundation, they cannot live their life to the fullness. God created us to be in fellowship with Him. When we are not, our lives are out of sync with reality. The Christian’s love of God must be at the center of their walk of faith.
How do you love (or stay in love with)
God above all else?
