All your heart

Scripture: Matthew 22:34-40 ~ "The Greatest Commandment"
34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart..."
All your heart.
All.
Everything.
Everything, everyone. that you have ever given your heart to, must be put aside. If you love anything, anyone, ahead of God, then you do not love Him with all your heart. But if you do love Him with all your heart, oh friend, how much will your capacity to love everything else increase!
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart..:"
All.
Amen.

Questions:
1. How would you define "all your heart"?
2. Is there anything, or anyone, who gets more of an expression of your love than God?
3. How do you show Him love?

May we love Him with all...all...our hearts. Jim
