heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all
your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and
out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal
commandment. 31 The second is like it and is this, You shall love your
neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
J.O.Y. - Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last. Many people in today's
society live for the "unholy trinity", Me, Myself, and I. Everything is
about them and fulfilling their needs and they don't want to see the needs
of those around them. The people caught up in selfish desires have simple
needs in front of them, I am not talking about world hunger, human
trafficking, homelessness and the list goes on. I am talking about the
person who would rather go out with their friends to have some "me time"
because the family is to much. The ones who have young children who want
time with their parent but have to stay away because the cigarette is more
important. The spouse who is longing to be loved unconditionally by a
person who has time for everyone and everything else and puts conditions on
what is suppose to be the most important earthly relationship we are to
have. Priorities have definitely become messed up. The Bible has 613
commandments, the 2 greatest ones, the big 10, and 601 others. If we follow
the greatest ones, we will fulfill the rest.
