So that’s it? Just two things to do in life, and everything else is covered? If it’s so simple, why don’t I just do it?
The problem is that simple doesn’t equal easy. The only parts of these commandments that I struggle with is every part. It’s easier to focus on following a long list of small and specific rules that are man-made (or most often self-made). These two commandments are terrifying in their scope because everything else really does follow from them. If I love You with everything then all my thoughts and actions are affected. And I can’t keep it to myself, I have to change how I act towards other people too.
Lord I know how simple following You should be and how complicated I make it. If I have one prayer today, it is, “help me to love You and love people”.
