And Jesus replied to him, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND". Mathew 22:37 AMP
There's nothing like capital letters bringing on the dramatic effect. Some people say it means you're screaming at them. I think it's just to get the attention of the person you're communicating with. It must be important if it's written in the Bible in all caps. Do you love God? Do you really really love God? Think about it for a few minutes and check your love meter. Do you love God or it's the things he does for you that makes you love him? And Yes there's a difference. What if God didn't answer any of your prayers would you still love him? Would you still believe he is the eternal God? Would you encourage others to follow after him, or you would condemn him as a fallacy? When Jesus asked Peter the same question, Peter was almost on the verge of tears; but he caught the revelation in time. Do you love God with all your soul and mind? Or there are competing factors and renters in your mind vying with God for attention? What about your heart? Is it fully for God or there are so many squatter's there's no space enough for God. If only we can make God first and everything second, we would be so successful we would shock ourselves. That's the secret to cracking the code for life and for success.
Let's pray: Father, I hand over to you anything or anyone who takes our time together from us. Help me to love you above everything else. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen
