The Greatest Commandment

Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."...And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

We can never truly love our neighbors if we do not love God with all our heart, soul and mind. Likewise, if we love God with all our heart, soul and mind, we can never not love our neighbors.

Loving God means loving His creations.

We can sing songs of worship, raise our hands to Him, attend church and read the Bible faithfully, cry out to Him the loudest, but if we do not show love for His people, all those actions are about as meaningful as the Pharisees' "religion".

But God knows it's hard to fulfill this commandment!

Personally, I've had so many trials, so many trying people in my life. Loving them is a test of patience.

I'm still learning, and by God's grace, I've learnt to love some whom I could not previously encounter without my blood boiling.

It's a tough road - but I would not have it any other way!
