Your Love for God

Matthew 22:37 - And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

This is a heart check for all of us. We know God loves us. He sent his only son to die for us. Love must go both ways. If we’re honest, there are many times when what we say about loving God doesn’t match up with how we are living. If we love God, our lives will reflect this by how we deal with what life throws at us and our desire to live wholeheartedly for Him.

“It is a vain thing for man to say, ‘I love God with all my heart’ when his strongest desires and most relishing joys centre in meaner objects; when his highest hopes and his most painful fears, his deepest anxieties and disquietudes of mind are always raised and sunk again by the things of this world only, and the changing scenes of this mortal state.” - Isaac Watts
