Love God Completely
Mark 12:28-31
Dr. Don Wilton

February is the love month. Although we use the words "I love you" a lot, in our world, the interpretation of love varies. But God gave us a clear definition of love—love God; love your neighbor. Mark 12:30 expands the definition of what is involved in loving God. It lists four zones of complete love—heart, soul, mind, strength. Most of the time, we hold back in at least one of these areas. And when we don't love God completely, it is impossible to love others completely.

Love isn't about what we give or things we do. Love is about relationship—our relationship with God and our relationships with others. Love God supremely and everything else will fall into place.
