The Measure of Love

It is interesting, when I preached on this subject a few weeks ago I gave a challenge at the end of the message for the people to assess the percentage of their loving God with all their heart, soul, and mind.  From the text we are to love God with “all” our heart, soul, and mind.  If my math is correct that comes out to be 100%.  But how is it we measure these things?  What does loving God with all our heart look like?  What does loving God with all our mind look like?  What does it look like to love God with all our soul?  What does it look like to love our neighbor as our self?  In a men’s group that I am a part of (see the Focus of a Warrior section of the blog) we have been challenged to describe what our values look like, how they are played out in our life.  By doing this we have the ability to test, measure, or assess how we are doing with regards to living out the given value.  This is the direction I am headed with this topic.  Over the next few weeks I will be putting forward ideas on what each of these “lovings” look like in my life so that I will have a gauge with which to measure my progress in the area of “loving God” and “loving my neighbor.”
