DO I LOVE

Psalms 119
How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!


Matthew 22
Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Love God, Love our neighbor…… this is what I think of as a proportional command. The measure of the first is directly related to the measure of the second. If love for my neighbor is lacking it is because I am not exercising Love towards my Lord.
