The Greatest Commandment

Scripture: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” – Matthew 22:37

Devotional:
When asked to name the greatest commandment, Jesus pointed to wholehearted love for God. This love encompasses every aspect of our being—heart, soul, and mind—and places Him above all else. It is both a command and an invitation to experience the fullness of a relationship with our Creator.

Loving God in this way means prioritizing Him in our daily lives, aligning our desires with His will, and allowing His love to shape our actions. This commandment forms the foundation for all other acts of faith and obedience.

Illustration:
A gardener carefully tends to their favorite plant, ensuring it thrives and grows strong. In the same way, we must nurture our love for God daily, allowing it to deepen and flourish.

Challenge:
Set aside time each day this week to express your love for God through prayer, worship, and reading Scripture. Reflect on what it means to love Him with all your heart, soul, and mind.
