Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV)
My reflection of the verse
Jesus is telling us that the first commandment that man should obey is to love God with all his mind, soul, and heart. I think we should love Him more than anything else in this world. God first loved us,so, loving Him sincerely is like giving back what He has given to man. Another commandment that man should follow is loving his neighbor. Sometimes this commandment is quite hard to obey because there are instances in man's life that affect his relationship with his brother or friends. However, man should learn how to love someone despite the other person's imperfection. We all have our shortcomings and learning to love our neighbor despite of everything would please God. I think obeying and pleasing God is more important than pleasing ourselves.
