All set?

I say those two words to clients on a daily basis.

"All set, john doe"

This morning my devo topic was the big ten versus the big two commandments. And I thought to myself,  "am I all set?"

The big two commandments of course being the two that Jesus said that basically summarized the big ten given to Moses.

Matthew 22:37-39 GNT

Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and the most important commandment.  The second most important commandment is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’

So?

Do we love God with ALL our hearts, souls and minds? ALL?  Are we holding on to something in our hearts that we haven't confessed to The Creator of our hearts?

Are we harboring anything in our souls? Hurt? Unforgiveness? Those things burrow deep into our souls.

My main issue is my mind. I allow my mind to go down rabbit holes all the time. Ones that are not helpful in any way for me to explore. Even this morning I took a trip regarding issues that don't change anything for me. But I allowed it to ruin my morning until I took it to Jesus!

What a friend we have in Him!!

I know some might argue that we won't be 'all set' until we are in Heaven but I am talking perfection. I am talking about perfect submission.  I'm referring to that state of mind where God is truly going before tou and you are content in what your world looks like because of that.

Loving our neighbors, that's got to be one of the hardest commandments!  People will always find a way to "harsh my mellow." Its a fact basically.  However, Jesus tells us to love folks even in that. I am convinced he said that because he knew that would only be possible when we lean on Him for strength.

Every waking moment we have to crucify self, and remind our selves of the Gospel! 

Love Jesus and the rest will follow!
