Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart and will all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength, and love your neighbors as yourself.
Frederick Buechner indicates this is easier said than done.
“The difficulty is increased when you realize that by loving God and your neighbors, Jesus doesn’t mean loving as primarily a feeling. Instead, he seems to mean that whether or not any feeling is involved, loving God means honoring and obeying and staying in constant touch with God, and loving your neighbors means acting in their best interests no matter what, even if personally you can’t stand them.”
