"Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, and with all of your soul, and with all of your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself" Luke 10:27.
Wow - what a huge ask. An absolutely massive undertaking - overwhelming. How do I go about loving God so much especially when He seems so far away sometimes - and love all people...those who cause serious pain to others, those who just seem so unloveable. IMPOSSIBLE!!
And that's the whole point - this would have to be my "most important" verse and aspect to living a life "with God" because without God - this verse IS impossible to achieve. This verse tells us what we must cultivate in our hearts and souls -not so much as to what we must do - as this would be like "trying to be nice" and failing miserably.
To love God / neighbors is the ultimate to what God wants for us - nothing is more important, as we are designed for this function "created in God's image" - our souls desire this allignment. As I cultivate my heart and soul towards this goal, I hope to discover something quite amazing....
It is this quest which I am on.
ambience > that which surrounds or emcomposses; environment. Is it possible to live in community with God every minute of our lives - have an interactive relationship with God and with his Son, Jesus, within the abiding ambience of the Holy Spirit... Welcome to my Journal and my journey of discovering spiritual formation. This blog will mainly be my thoughts on bible passages as I look for the path to a "with-God" existence.
