Love the Lord with All of Who We Are
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30)
We are to love the Lord our God with
All of our
Heart
Soul
Mind
Strength
Heart is the seat of our affections
To love God with all of our
Tenderness
Fondness
Longing
Passion
Desire
Soul is the core of who we are
The attributes that make us unique
It is the most vulnerable part of us
It is the deepest aspects of us
Mind encompasses our
Perspectives
Paradigm
Mindset
Thoughts
Volition
Priorities
Strength is the physical actions we take
The outward behaviors others see
Dictated by our mind
Informed by our soul
Generated from our heart
To love God with all of our
Heart
Soul
Mind
Strength
Is to love God
Exclusively
Having Him as our deepest love
Our top priority
With all of who we are
With the depth of who we are
With all of our vulnerabilities
No holds barred
Filling our minds with His truths
Believing only in Him
Relying only on Him
Taking off our old self and its practices
Getting rid of the old wine skins
Procuring new wine skins
Putting on our new self
Which is being renewed in the image of its Creator
How are you loving God today
Through the expressions of your
Heart
Soul
Mind
and Strength
