KEY SCRIPTURE: “Deuteronomy 6:5” And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might”.

Jesus said, the greatest commandment is to love the Lord, thy God with all thy soul and with all thy might. Man’s heart must necessarily be filled with something. His heart may be occupied by the created things or by the creator. Men have woefully kicked against the instruction of God and have,” changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”(Rom 1:25).

To love is to worship, for love gives of itself to what it cherishes. This is exactly what happens in worship.

Failure to love God with all your heart, mind, and being is the misery and sorrow of mankind. The picture portrayed by the writer of Romans 1:18-30 is rather gloomy. Men become servants of ordinary creatures, misusing their bodies in very shameful ways and, in the end, receiving the reward for their folly.

To love God is to love peace, liberty, dignity, and true spirituality. Loving God would naturally lead you to love all humans in spite of their race, religion, status, or whatever condition that person finds himself.

The absence of peace in our societies is a direct manifestation that we have very little love for God.

Everyone who truly loves God is free, for it is only in God that there is true liberty. Let me make myself clear, God has revealed himself presently in His Son, Jesus Christ. (John 14:6 Heb 1:2) We relate to God by submitting to the Lordship of Jesus over our lives. Our Lord Jesus is the only one who sets men free,

Consider what He says about those who love Him.1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him”. God has so much for all who sincerely love Him. Turn your heart totally to the Lord of your soul, our Lord Jesus Christ, so you can live out what God intended you to be.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, my life is a vessel unto you, and Jesus is my Lord. I love the Lord Jesus with all my heart and soul. My neigh6bor is also cherished and loved sincerely because that is your will for me.  Thank you, Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

THOUGHT: WE BECOME TRUE HUMANS WHEN WE LOVE GOD IN TRUTH.
