Love

Scripture

Mat 22:36-40 ESV "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" (37) And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. (38) This is the great and first commandment. (39) And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (40) On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."


Observation

Jesus summed up all commandments of the law in the word of love. One of the indicators that we are growing into spiritual maturity is our willingness to love, both God and neighbor. God is love and when we are growing in relationship with Him, we will be like Him.


Application

Am I have genuine love for God base on what He has done for my redemption or the 'feeling' of His presence?

Am I really love my neighbor regardless who they are including the enemy?


Response

Father, give me unconditional & genuine love for you and neighbor. Reflect Your very nature in me that people will see You in me.
