Loving God

When the lawyer was trying to test Jesus, he asked him two questions: “What must I do to have eternal life?” and “Who is my neighbor?” We know the answer to the second question—it is everyone God loves, and that is everyone! The answer to the first question is to love God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind. That is an excellent guide for our own spiritual lives. To grow ever deeper in love with God is one of the most important things we can ever do. This week, consider how you can grow in the love of God—heart, soul, strength and mind.
