Matthew 22:37<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cJesus said to him, \u2018You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.\u2019\u00a0This is the first and great commandment.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mankind’s natural tendency seems inclined towards always trying to gain something by investing as little as possible. It is like that old story of the young man who was writing a love letter to his sweetheart\u00a0vowing 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 \u2026 “if<\/strong><\/u> it’s\u00a0not raining.” \u00a0Ooops!<\/p>\n

Much too often we exhibit that same trait in our devotion to the Lord. We talk a good talk, but when it comes down to being sold out to the Lord, we don’t walk<\/strong> the talk. In today\u2019s Scripture the Pharisees are trying to find fault in the teachings of Jesus. He was asked which was the greatest commandment? Matthew 22:37 gives His reply.<\/p>\n

Let me ask you a very personal question (I am asking it of myself as well). How well are we doing in our response to this greatest commandment of them all? Can we truly say we love the Lord our God with ALL <\/strong>our heart, our soul, and our mind? It is time to look into the mirror of God\u2019s Word and see what He sees.<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
