“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” Matthew 22:37
“Who do you love?” the instructor asked…
Class at the community college was ending…
The instructor pointed at one student after another, asking the same question again and again…
“What did you learn?”
“What did you learn?”
“What did you learn?”
Then, he changed the question…
“Who do you love?” he asked a surprised student.
“I love the Lord,” she answered.
The instructor took a step back, chuckled and shook his head…
Turning to another student, he changed the question again…
“Why are you here on earth?”
“To bring honor and glory to God,” answered the student.
“No!” the professor chuckled again.
“You are here on earth…because of gravity.”
“One last question,” he continued, “Who is the most awesome being in the entire universe?”
“God!” someone shouted.
“No!” the instructor shouted back.
“Wow, I’ve got a bunch of religious people in this class!”
“You are the most awesome being in the entire universe!”
Looking like an old time evangelist, he stepped back, half closed his eyes and raised his hands above his heads as he intoned…
“Raise your hands. Say it with me…”
“I am awesome!”
“I am awesome!”
“I am awesome!”
Class ended.
As one student left, the the instructor’s questions kept running through her mind…
“Who do you love?”
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” Matthew 22:37
“Why are you here on earth?”
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

“Who is awesome?”
For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. Psalm 47:2
She thought about what had happened that night and breathed a prayer….
“Thank you God, that you see what we do and love us anyway…”
… God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
One thought on “Who do you Love?”
School teacher practice academics. That means there is a small set of anything studied. Also, the answers have to agree with the predetermined conclusions they set before they even started the academic study. In other words: they define the end before the beginning. Who do they think they are God?
