Jesus’ Love

 

CD Swanson

“Jesus said to him ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’” (Matthew 22:37 NKJV)

Jesus emphasized that the most important commandment would be the verse above in Matthew. 

That was always an important and outstanding message from Jesus, and so I began reflecting upon it more so than ever. 

I started a mental picture of what I’d done to embrace that and solidify being one with Christ.

Well for one thing, I spoke with many individuals about their lives and most are very unhappy. 

Their circumstances are dim and exhausting in terms of their relationships, or lack thereof. 

It is sad, frustrating, and to be honest exhausting, and can drain our spirit. 

However, my heart for the LORD says, "go and love as I have loved you" and when we love, which includes ‘listening’ and helping others, it is part of His plan. 

These poor souls are non-stop in their daunting misery, and murmurings. But--Jesus wants us to love. 

And by loving others, we are following His commandments of "loving." We are a daily reflection of His light, and when we do as He commands and trust in Him and follow Him by being a representative of who He is, the best we can, that is the path in which He wishes us to travel. 

We are loving Him fully – and with our heart mind and soul. 

This of course includes all our encounters with others, and behaving like Christ commanded us to do.

Walking in the Light for those in the dark will signify there is hope, that there is indeed a God, and that He is with us always…

“Father, I love You fully, Amen.”
