Deuteronomy 6:5
“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
God never asks for a small place on the shelf of our lives. He asks for the throne. This is not a call to casual religion but to wholehearted love. Look at the three layers.
First, Love Him with all your heart. Love Him with your desires, choices, and deep affections.
Second, Love Him with all your soul. Love Him with the inner you, the person no one else fully sees.
Third, Love Him with all your strength. Love Him with your energy, your work, your resources, and your daily actions.
Real love touches everything. When heart, soul, and strength join together, love stops being a sentence we say and becomes a life we live with God.
I’m Lonnie Davis and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Suggested Prayer: Lord, teach me to love You deeply in my heart, faithfully in my soul, and gladly through every action today.
