Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
Of everything we’re taught in God’s word, this is the ultimate summation of it all.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart.
For all of the effort we put into so many other things that we, as believers and followers of God need to learn, if we could get this one right, every single other thing that we need to accomplish as a believer would fall into place so much more easily.
If we could just learn to love God with all our heart, we would know Him intimately. We would know His voice, His commandments, His desires. We would know Him so well we could hear His heart beat.
When we know Him like this, we will be able to love our neighbor as ourselves. We will love our spouse as Christ loved the church. We will love people in spite of what they have done. We will show mercy, not because people deserve it, but because they don’t deserve it.
So let’s stop fussing over so many other things and learn to love Him with all our heart, all our soul and all our strength and then watch as the other things all follow suit.
