At the beginning of a short biography of St. Francis of Assisi, G. K. Chesterton with a glimpse seeing from heart to a unique and loving figure who was born in the 12th century. Chesterton wrote: "As St. Francis did not love humanity, but loved his fellows, so he did not love Christianity but loved Christ. Readers will not be able to catch up the meaning of St. Francis’s life story, which may seem strange before they understand that for the Saint, his religion is not just theory, but more like a love story. "
When Jesus was asked to name the ultimate commandment in the Law, He replied, "Love the Lord, your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. That is the great and the first commandment "([bible]Matth22:37-38[/bible]). The questioner wanted to test the Lord Jesus, but the Lord just told the questioner about the main elements in pleasing God. First and foremost, our relationship with God is about heart.
If we see God as a foreman and consider that being obedient to Him as a burden, we become just like the people who are rebuked by Lord, "I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love" ([bible] Revel2:4[/bible]).
The road to the joy is about loving God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind. (DCM)
Giving the priority to Christ and you will find everlasting joy.
