Loving The Lord, Loving Others--With Passion

Have you taken to heart the great commandment: to love God with everything within you and to do the same with your neighbor and yourself?

37 Jesus said, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.'
38 This is the most important, the first on any list.
39 But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.'
40 These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them." Matthew 22:37-40 (MSG)

Many of those who call themselves disciples of Jesus Christ have found a safe place in the rut of relationship--just going through the motions. Is that all you want in your relationship with the Lord? Perhaps this song and video will be an encouragement to you to pursue your relationship with the Lord with a renewed zeal.

That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Oh if we truly grasped this we would see genuine revival in our land and nothing else would matter.
