"We're all challenged outright to love God "with all our heart, all our soul, and all our might" (Deuteronomy 6:5)!
"So, what then does that mean, and how do we live our lives by it?"
"we're to love God both in secret and openly", rather than just for public consumption;
and to "never equate the love of God with the love of anything else" but rather to understand it to be the heights of spiritual growth.
Love creates the relationship and awe humbles; however, in order to succeed humility is not enough. Humility must also bring about wisdom.
The wisest and most advanced realize that he/she too is limited; therefore, it is possible to glean truth and wisdom from anyone and everyone.
That is called humility and that is called wisdom.
Those who embrace humility and accept that they are but a "momentary pause on the continuum of destiny" deserve to live longer because they have proven themselves to be the wisest of all."
Love, joy and peace to all,
and good bye
