Luke 10: 25-26, Jesus says, "What is written in the law?".... How do you read it?
Look at the order, and think about it. God puts everything in perfect order. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself."
He never asked us for anything else but our hearts first! I have read this scripture several times. I've known the order for a long time. But until you really realize that unless you give God your whole surrendered heart, nothing will fall into place as it should. You will always keep trying, and doing things to try and please God. All He wants is our hearts. That simple.
Once He has your heart, He makes Himself known way down in the depths of your soul, and it keeps growing in your love relationship with Him. Our daily struggles are met by His strength that continues to surface itself in and through you. Any attacks in our thoughts (mind), are met by Him and cast out as He takes every thought captive, 2 Corinthians 10:5.
Every step we try to climb on our own will break. So take the first solid step of faith. A completely surrendered heart and then keep climbing. We were never created to walk alone. Don't take your eyes off the truth. It's simple, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart"....We learn the rest along the walk of life experiences: To love with all our soul, strength, and mind. Then finally, loving our neighbor as ourselves. When you grow to realize how much we are loved, and what it cost to be forgiven, loving those that are even hard to love is easier. Jesus does it through us.
Then the climb of life is so exciting. The love relationship is amazing! NOTHING compares to it!
Much love, Kim D
