The greatest commandment is to love God above all things and with all of our strength.  Sometimes we are tempted (as the Pharisees were) to place conditions on God’s rule in our lives. The Lord, however, demands our absolute commitment and love because He first loves us first, and He seeks constantly to lift us up to be with Him forever.  If the Lord does not have first place in our hearts, however, we will not be eternally happy.  The second commandment, to love our neighbor as ourselves, flows from our realization that God loves us, that we are lovable, and that so is everyone else. 
For the same God who loves us first loves others too.  The love which fulfills the commandment is not merely a feeling of attachment or pleasant desire, but requires concrete and objective action, seeking the good of others.
