‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Mark 12:30
In answering the scribe’s question, “What is the greatest commandment?” Jesus tells us how we are to love God. He leaves no room for interpretation here…with everything you are, you are called to love God.
What does that look like in your life? We have been talking about control these past couple of weeks, and this passage puts it all into perspective. If we are truly loving God with our whole selves, then we are surrendering to this truth.
It might seem impossible to love God in the way Jesus tells us to…how would that even look? Would it mean giving up everything you hold onto in your life? To love God this way would require help, and that is what the Holy Spirit does for us. Tell God how much you love him in your prayers today and know that God is loving you right back.
