Remember God’s greatest commandment: you shall love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength and all your mind and … (Luke 10:27). God is, unquestionably, asking for ALL of you! He wants complete and not partial devotion, undivided and not distracted attention. He also reminds you that He is a jealous God (Deuteronomy 5:9) and wants you to love, worship and serve nobody but Him.
My questions to you are the following: Do you love God? If yes, how much do you love Him? Do you love Him the way He asks to be loved? Is He getting undivided attention or do you sometimes replace Him with idols? Loving Him with your whole being-through your choices, lifestyle, behaviour, decisions, resources and ability – must be your priority.
God loves you first and expects you to reciprocate by loving Him back passionately and unconditionally. You will never regret surrendering your life to Him and loving Him the way He wants to be loved. Remember, He has prepared something that eyes have not seen and ears have not heard for those who love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9). Also, “all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
Do you love Him?
Many thanks as always for sharing these inspiring messages which help us in our earthly journey. May the LORD continue to bless and keep you as you work in HIS Vineyard. Shalom
I am amazed by the genuine unconditional Love of the Father. Everything that He does is out of Love.There are times when I make plans and want things to go my way and when things dont happen I begin to question Him..But He reminds me of Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you…Plans of good hope and a future..He Loves us so much even when we cannot feel it or sense it or see it. I Love God and I’m still learning on how to Love Him Unconditionally.
Very inspiring message,the love of God knows no bounds
Name correction
A very, difficult question for me to answer in the ‘wholehearted’ affirmative ‘yes I do’. I paused for deep thought and had to conclude I don’t love Him like He deserves to be loved in that all encompassing way. But His Spirit is powerfully a work in me, to help me increasingly love Him more and more, day by day. I always give thanks to God for the resurrection power of His Spirit dwelling in me.
What a generous demand and request! How rich and beautiful our lives would be if we wholeheartedly responded to the request.
Thank you for reminding us, especially, of the transformation that awaits us when we respond generously to the call; “eyes have not seen and ears have not heard….”. What a beautiful promise!
