Jesus answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and the most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself.’ The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:37-40 GNBDK
Reflection:
We cannot claim to love God whilst we dislike our neighbour and we can't love our neighbour when we do not believe in God. Jesus makes it very clear to us; God is first and the most important place in your life should belong to him. Yet how many of us struggle with this teaching, we have come to make this world and temporary life a thing forever. Today things have become more valuable than people which is where the second commandment comes into picture. Each one of us is called to live a life that reflects the love of God. But if God isn't the number one in our life, how can we claim know him or share his love?
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to put your priorities in place as you walk in the light and path of Jesus Christ his son. May you live each day with hope and love so that your life reflects God's glory. And may his Holy Spirit help you discern every step you take. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
