“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.”
Matthew 22:37–38
Reflection
When asked to choose from hundreds of commands, Jesus chose love — and He demanded all of it. Not a portion, not a Sunday share, but heart, soul, and mind together. This is not a burdensome standard but a liberating focus: when love for God is first, everything else in life aligns around its proper center. Life's competing loyalties all yield to the one great loyalty.
Today's Prayer
“Lord, I want to love You with everything I am today — redirect my heart, soul, and mind back to You whenever they drift.”
