When asked what mattered most, Jesus pointed us back to something ancient and foundational—the Shema: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” God doesn’t just want a part of us, He wants the whole person. Real love for God isn’t compartmentalized; it’s a fully integrated response of heart, mind, and action. Feelings alone can’t sustain love, but neither can obedience without affection. We love because He first loved us. Before the foundation of the world, He set His love on us. Jesus invites us into a relationship where every part of who we are is ordered around Him. Where have our loves drifted? The invitation to us is to return to our first love and reorient our lives around the One who loved us first.
