Matthew 22:37-39 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, \u201c\u2018You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.\u2019 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: \u2018You shall love your neighbor as yourself<\/span>.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Loving God is the key to follow and obeying His commandments. It is the very thing that will help us put our self aside and be able to love Him and our neighbor as He has asked us to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we don\u2019t have such a love for God first, it\u2019s impossible to love the way He has commanded us. It\u2019s funny, loving God can move us toward living for Him, but yet we fight it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We may ask, \u201cwhy do we fight it?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We fight usually because we care about ourselves and how we feel more than anything else. And how we feel is usually based on if we are happy about who we\u2019ve become, how much we have and our appearance. Those are 3 big issues and can keep us from loving God and others the way we should.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We feel like if we are not happy with who we are, how can we truly love anyone? In this scripture, is there anything where it says, we have to love ourselves? No, it says to love God with basically everything and what is left is use toward loving our neighbor. Nothing is mention about having to love\u00a0our self.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What God is showing us is the importance of our walk in this life with Him, is that our love should be directed and poured out for Him and others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We don\u2019t have to worry about loving\u00a0ourselves, because His love for us is more than enough. All we need to know, to understand and believe is the love which He has for us and then share it. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1 John 4:16 (NKJV) 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You my friend are loved more than you know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
