Matthew 22:37-38
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."
What does this mean, to love God with your mind? Maybe this is the learning and seeking part of loving God. This is the part I have some control over- what I choose to fill my head with- what I spend time thinking about. The mind is also where prayer is formed. Of course, prayer involves the heart and soul, as well. Maybe this is our reminder that our relationship with God is not all about feelings. It is about knowledge and belief, as well.
Holy Lord, May I always keep my mind tuned in to what draws me closer to you. Even if there are times when I don't "feel it", when my heart and soul do not feel willing, may I turn to loving you with my mind. Amen
