“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might” (Deuteronomy 6:5).

Love is one of the most essential virtues that is characterized by a life of humility, generosity, selflessness, optimum commitment to doing good etc. In fact, Love is life. It is a powerful and influential force that makes significant impact and is directly proportional to magnitude of intents. The best demonstration of Love is by the Almighty God. He so much loves the creation of His hands; most especially human beings. His Love is pure, perfect and incomparable to any human act of show of love. The Bible says, God loves us in that even while we are  sinners, Christ died for our sins. God is indeed good that He gives all humans the “Grace” which is Jesus Christ in order to manifest His unlimited love towards us.

God expects us to at least show Him love in all that we do. Interestingly, the sole purpose of our existence here on Earth is to do His will. Loving God is not an advice or admonition! it is an obligation, command and also a responsibility. Loving God with all our heart, with all our mind and with all our might opens a door of compassion for others, also creates room for solicited desire to live a life that pleases Him. Manifesting the love is not by prayer or fasting! many times, it is practical. This means, prioritizing Him first in all that we do, putting aside idols within the mind. It may also be the little act of sharing with people who lack, feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, saying sorry or nice things to those passing great times of challenges/trials in life. Our definition of Love as God’s children should not be drawn from the perspective of worldly love.

We see different kinds of wickedness brought by human beings to their fellows which are motivated by hatred, envy, jealousy, bitterness etc. If there exist godly love among us, we would live a regular life of joy, satisfaction, peace, happiness, concern for the plight of our neighbors. Brethren, we are given a mandate to love God with all our mind, this therefore means, we should love Him with all our potentials, our earthly possession, our time, human resources of whatever nature without being frugal. As most people say, Love conquers all things, we should proof our allegiance to Him by Loving what/who we see around our contemporary confines, like the needy, the disable, the hungry, those in need of assistance. May God help us to fulfill His demand of Love from us in Christ name

Prayer point:

Let’s thank God today for His word. Let us also ask Him to show us how to demonstrate our love to Him.
