Day 240 - God first, Others second, Me third

"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Mark 12:29-31

Jesus teaches us the secret for a successful, humble and loving life. There is: put God first, others second, and yourself third. The reason for that is first, you please God, and He is going to be in your favour, when you start by doing things for yourself, you have no providence from God, He has no reason why to back you up, but when you start by doing things for Him, or by honouring Him, then you obtain a extra strength, a backup from The Most High, that means, the work of your hands will succeed.

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33

When Jesus said that the command to love our neighbour as yourself is just as important as to love God above all things, means that it doesn't matter who the other person is, or what he or she has done, what matters is that they are part of God's creation and we should love them because they have been made image and likeness of our Father. They are all our siblings, even if sometimes they are the bad sibling.
That's why I put this message, it makes a difference in our daily lives, it's just a matter of schedule yourself:
- God first
-Others second
-Me third

Your life will change when you do this, you will obtain God's favour and the work of your hands will be multiplied.
