He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27
Sweet, short, and simple. The verse above says it. Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart. What exactly does that mean?
Loving others. Being committed to knowing Him better through fellowship and personal quiet time. Not being ugly to people made in His image. Desiring Christ more than any thing else. This means before hobbies, sports, television, Facebook, social media and other distractions. It means making time for Him. You say you love your spouse but if you ignore them that sure does not seem like it. You get the picture.
Here it is half way through the year. New Years resolutions broken and you scratching your head wondering where the time has gone. You know you need to be closer to Jesus but what are you doing about it? Something to think about. Take time today to do just that.
PRAYER: Father I am thankful for you. I know there is no set formula for quiet time and I know you yearn for me to sit and want to spend time in prayer. Help those I know who don’t understand or desire you. Draw them to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
