Greg, Pat, and Steve share about the greatest commandment given by Jesus found in Mark 12:30 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you mind and with all your strength.” They continue to share that often times it appears to be much easier accept love than to actually give it. God’s love to us is unconditional. Many wonder how can they love God but loving God is not about keeping a checklist or about doing “good works” to earn his love. God freely loves us without conditions. Jesus instructs us to love God with everything within us including our mind and even our thoughts. Intentionally engaging our mind to think on God and honoring him. Jesus is the perfect example of how we can love God and others. He made himself of no reputation always deferring to love even while others chose to hate on him. God is looking at how we will respond when we are disrespected. Will we follow the way of love?
