“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”  He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” Luke 10:26-28

So what?

At FredWes we say we “Love you to LIFE”.

That has a really nice sound to it, but what does it mean?

It means you “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 

It means you must be all in as in, ““‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind”

You are to “love your neighbor as yourself”. When it comes to loving yourself are you all in on that aren’t you?

Loving people to life is not for half-hearted people who can only give a half-hearted effort. Loving people to life is for those who are all in to love others as much as they love themselves.

How do you do that?

By being totally into loving God.

Your heart must be totally into loving God. That means choosing God above everything and everyone every time.

Does that describe you?

If not you are not all in.

Your soul should be totally into loving God. That means you follow and obey God when you feel like it and when you don’t.

Do you love God in that way?

If you don’t you’re not all in.

Your strength should be totally invested in loving and serving God. Loving Him means devoting the best of your strength not your left-overs.

Do you love like that?

You do if you are all in.

You are to love God with all your mind. That means you fill your mind with His Word and all your thoughts are to be guided by it.

Do you love like that?

If you are all in you will.

When you are all into loving God you will be filled with His love in your heart, your soul, your strength and your mind and loving people to life will be a way of life.

That’s what!
