Good day soldiers in Christ! Today, I would like to talk about Luke 10:27!
Now, what does it mean to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind? We can always impress people by doing stuffs in church, telling people that we are Christians, and living a double life by being nice in Church and terrible outside of Church. But at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what God thinks of us!
For example, I can worship lead in my church, lead my camp as a camp commandant, encourage people with Bible verses and even come up with a Christian blog! But if my heart, soul, strength and mind isn't set right before God, I'll be in deep trouble.
I believe that most of us are caught in the act of getting popularity, fame, impressing people, showing off, and all those stuffs that makes us feel good. Most of the time, our motive isn't right! I had a friend who served in Church just because he wanted to spend more time with the girl he likes. The fact is, it's all wrong! Serving in Church is for the Lord, not to get the girl you like!
In the verse, it says that we must love God with our everything! To love God with everything means that your thoughts, actions, words and motives has to be right in God's eyes! John 14:15 says, "If you love me, you will obey what I command." So to love God means to obey everything He says!
I want to encourage you, we might fail over and over again, hence we are sinful creatures! But it don't matter how many times we fail, we must get back to God! His forgiveness is amazing and has lasted through generations to generations, so don't be disappointed when you fail but get back up and go back to God! I myself have failed countless mistakes of time, but I always remind myself that I need to get back to God!
Whenever temptations are near you, the Number 1 Technique to get away from it: Tap God's Strength and Flee away from the temptation! Don't let it linger around you and try to resist it, you'll fail eventually!
Finally, I would like to encourage you to look out for other people the same way you look out for yourself! When you see a friend hurting, go and comfort him/her, talk to him/her! The only way to have a friend is to be a friend! Care for one another! Remind yourself of the times when you were depressed or down, and a friend came by to comfort you and talked with you! I want you to do the same for others =)
In conclusion, I would like to encourage you to commit every ounce of strength in your body, soul and mind to loving God! Don't forget to look out for other people the same way that you look out for yourself! =)
