John 1: 1-4 (NIV) : In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it

Why can’t I find understand your neighbours, understand God and understand your parents?

“Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭39‬

“You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.”Leviticus‬ ‭19‬:‭18‬

I hate confrontation and I especially hate hate when people’s moods dictate the feel of the environment. When they are angry, it feels like they are sucking the energy and the happiness the people around them and the temperature of the environment turns from normal temperature to making you feel like the below freezing environment without any equipment and I am a normally someone when I see people walking around angry, moody and displeased, I walk away from them or shall I say hide away from them but when it comes to family members it’s harder to walk away them so the house become a uncomfortable environment.

Recently, I was talking to God about his creation who is also my family member that makes me feel very very uncomfortable with when he’s angry and we’ve had our share of disagreements with majority coming from him( not a conflict person nor do I think I am without fault) and at some points i made the decision to cut off every relationship with him and with anyone associated with him and I even told God I will not even visit the city that he reside, but God had other plans ( “A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.) Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

To get to the ending of my topic, the man got onto his mood today and the temperature dropped and I was telling God that I did not understand him and how his mood is happy at one moment and sour next and the small voice replied with the bible command from the bible “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ and the still small voice continued by saying that never did I tell you to “understand” but to “Love” and same applies to God.

God never asked us to understand him but to “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment)

We try to understand our fellow humans and try to apply that mentality to God but it says in the bible “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬”. We can never ever fully understand our fellow humans nor do do we fully understand ourselves because things change in our lives that we have no control over that makes us react in a way that we don’t understand.

I will be very very honest the hardest bible command in the bible for me is to love God with all my heart, soul, might and mind and I believe if I love God with all my Soul, heart and mind will be capable of loving my neighbours without seeing to understand them first and everything else will fall into place.
