       Lastly, we love God with all of our minds, which means what we are thinking about throughout the day. We eliminate incorrect and sinful thoughts, and we focus on ‘now’ and good things. We keep God at the forefront of our minds, and stay in continual conversation with him. For the second greatest commandment, that of loving our neighbors as ourselves, part of this includes loving those who are in the body of Christ, our fellow brothers and sisters in our church. Now, this can be accomplished in different ways, as we don’t all love each other in the same way. But God teaches us individually how to love one another (see (1 Thessalonians 4:9). Really, our love for one another works in connection with the spiritual gifts given to us from the Holy Spirit. Think of your gifts when thinking of how you should love others. And we don’t just love our fellow Christians belonging to our particular church, but we love others that are part of the body of Christ but that do not belong to our church. Nonetheless, love can be about what we do for others, and it can also be about what we do not do.
