And right there

Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law? (Matthew 22:36 ESV)

 The Two Steps of Love, as laid out by the greatest teacher:
  1- Love God with all that is within you—absolutely and unequivocally everything. That includes your time, desires, money, and everything else.
2- Love those around you, and care about their needs and feelings just as much as you care about your own. Put yourself in others’ shoes, and take the time to help them wherever and whenever you can. (Matthew 22:37-40)
 And right there, we have a simple formula for meaningful, successful living.
How many times has it been said that what the world needs is more love? And yet, sadly, we see so many events in our modern world that represent the opposite: war, violence, discrimination, and intolerance. How truly different our lives and society in general would be if the Two Steps of Love were practiced daily.
 How wonderful it would be if that were truer of me; to think as Christ thinks and have desires that match His, instead of my selfish tendencies. It grieves our Savior to see so many people who are unhappy and unloved, therefore it should grieve me as well. I cannot always do as much as I’d like, but I can love much. —Chris Mizrany [1]

 Believers take the same view of matters as Jesus does; that which pleases Him pleases them, and that which grieves Him grieves them also. —Charles Spurgeon
