Mark 12:30 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
One way we can grow closer to the Lord is not only through Praying and Reading our Bible daily, and by being a witness for him. I realize that going soul-winning maybe a scary for some, maybe you are shy (like me) LOL or maybe you don’t like to talk to strangers. That’s ok, you can go with a lady/man that is comfortable talking and witnessing.
So now how can we obey Mark 12:30 which is the first commandment?
1. Make sure you LOVE the Lord that all you do is to please the Lord - Making sure YOU are saved.
2. All thy soul – We can’t keep this or that because we don’t want to give it up. We need to Love the Lord with our whole soul.
3. With thy mind – is your thinking right? Do you look to be Christ honoring in your thoughts?
4. So we are to Love the Lord with WHAT? Our WHOLE being.
5. Strength – I wondered before How can I love the Lord through my strength? Well, he gives us the strength to go forward, to live daily for him. So through our strength we can LOVE the Lord.
In Matthew 22:39 "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
Our neighbours – who are they? They are the ALL the People who live here in Palermo! They are the people who live in Germany, Canada, the Philippians, the 1040 Window, throughout the world, and our Military.
We need to decided right here and right now that we are going to make a difference. You can make difference, I can make difference, if you make a difference to JUST 1 person that’s one more person reached for the Lord. It only takes 1 person to make a difference but if ALL of us make a difference in a person, then that person a difference in another before you know it, we have made a difference NOT only in Palermo, but Liberty, China, Windsor, or where ever you may live in the world.
