Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

So, how do you love God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind? What does that mean?

Heart
Love God from the center of who you are, not just with emotions, but with your decisions and heartfelt goals.

Soul
Love God with what makes you you—with your whole life, not just one part of it on Sundays at church.

Mind
Love God with your thoughts, your attention, and the way you think deeply about the world around you.

Love Is Action

Here are some things to do daily to put love for God into action.

• Pray. Start every day by talking to your Heavenly Father and listening as He talks to you.
• Tell God the desires of your heart; you must speak your desires before God. You must speak them.
• Read and study God’s Word. God has revealed Himself, His endless love, and His grand plan in the Bible. It also tells us how we are to obey His will for us so that we will live the awesome lives He desires for us.
• Praying and reading the Word of God put you in His presence, and when you’re in His presence, your heart, soul, and mind will worship Him and praise His glorious works.
• Be aware during the day that you live your life before God, not just other people.

Make these love actions habits in your daily life, and you will see how putting yourself into God’s heart will make your life a wondrous dream come true.

Now, how do we do the second part of the Great Commandment? That’s next.
