To Love Is the Greatest Goal
An interesting thing happens today: I was actually enjoying my day at work, talking with and helping my co-workers. I’m usually an introvert, like to keep things to myself, but for some reason, I just felt like I needed to be more friendly.
Maybe, hopefully, to a point that I love them enough that I care about how they feel.
Perhaps it’s too much, but it is the most satisfying feeling. The day passed by without me having a heavy heart. I come home feeling refresh than ever. I don’t raise my voice and I feel confident.
Perhaps that’s what Jesus meant when He said to attain a greater goal by:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:37-39
I must first love God, then love others. Good advice. And the reward is immense!
