Love God First

"And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39

Jesus says love God first, then love others. We are able to love others, even those we used to dislike, because of the overflow of our love for God. Without God, it is impossible for me to truly love others. I pray that I can give God all of me, that I can say I truly love God and mean it. Then I will show others God's love by serving them.
