"And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Deuteronomy 6:5 (KJV)
Here you have one of the most important verses in all the Bible, and the most important commandment of the ten commandments. Why? Because if you obey this one verse, then everything else falls into place: You'll love others because God wants you to, and if you love God and others then you won't do them wrong and the list goes on. Love and respect sometimes aren't considered one in the same in the world... But to love God is to respect God as well. If you don't respect God, then you don't love God. And if you respect God, you obey Him as well. The Lord should be your ultimate authority. When something goes wrong you should seek Him out to find the answers you need. And we should give Him thanks always.
The point is that we need to make sure that the Lord is number one in our hearts always. If the Lord is number one in your heart, then your heart can only be filled with love because God is love. If He's number one in your heart, then you'll always want to do righti and good. If He isn't number one in your life, then you're in big trouble it's as simple as that. He has to be number one!
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins as we forgive all those who've sinned against us. Help us to put you first in our hearts always and to do right by you. In Jesus name. A-men!
