The Greatest Commandment

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
-Mark 12:28-34

Reflection.

It shouldn't come as a stun to you that the best show you can do in life is to love God with your general presence. That is, to love Him with your entire heart, soul, psyche and quality. Worshiping God specifically things, with all the essentialness of your human breaking points, is the dependable target you should strive for the length of general everyday presence. Notwithstanding, what does that totally mean?

In any case, this request of adoration sees particular parts of our character to underscore that all parts of our being must be offered over to an aggregate love of God. Intelligently, we can perceive these various parts of our entire presence as indicated by the going with: sagacity, will, interests, conclusions, slants and needs. By what method may we esteem God with these?

We begin with our brains. The fundamental stage in cherishing God is coming to know Him. This recommends we should attempt to get a handle on, fathom and place stock in God and the total of what that has been uncovered to us about Him. It proposes we have planned to enter the very baffle of God's life, particularly through Scripture and through the boundless disclosures given through the unquestionable setting of the Church.

Second, when we go to a more critical impression of God and all that He has uncovered, we settle on a free decision to put stock in Him and take after His ways. This free decision must take after our comprehension into Him and changes into a display of trust in Him.

Third, when we have started to enter the flabbergast of the life of God and believed in Him and all that He has uncovered, we will see our lives change. One particular bit of our lives that will change is that we will require God and His will in our lives, we should scan for Him more, we will discover joy in tailing Him and we will find that every last one of the forces of our human soul will gradually push toward getting the opportunity to be overpowered with a glow for Him and His ways.
