ULTIMATE LOVE!

Luke 10:35 – Devotional

Luke 10:35

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and mind.”

All too often our human, natural tendency, is inclined toward trying to gain something by investing as little time and effort as possible. We enjoy receiving greatest reward with the least expenditure. The gambling industry has flourished by means of this type of thinking.

I recall the old story of the young man who was writing a love letter to his sweetheart. He vowed that he would climb the highest mountain for her. He would swim the widest river for her. He would fight a ferocious tiger for her. He closed his letter to the love of his life by promising he would drop by her house on Saturday – “if it’s not raining.” Ooops! Words and actions must match!

All too often we demonstrate that same trait in our devotion to the Lord. We talk a good talk, but when “the rubber meets the road,” spiritually speaking, we fail to walk the talk. In today’s Scripture the Pharisees were trying to find fault in the teachings of Jesus. In reply to the Pharisees question as to which was the greatest commandment? He gives His reply that we are to love the Lord.

Let me ask you a very personal question (I am asking it of myself as well). Can we truly say we love the Lord our God with ALL our heart, our soul, and our mind? It is time to look into the mirror of God’s Word and see what He sees.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
