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

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

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
