Jesus said that the most important command is to, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mk 12:30).
I desperately want to love the Lord with all my heart. I think I do. I say I do. Still, I wonder...is there more of my heart that can love Him? Is there a part of my heart that doesn't yet love Him more than anything or anyone? How do I know? Is there a "test" I can take? A questionnaire to complete?
If I want to love the Lord with all my heart, I need to examine my heart. But I also need to seek God's heart on every attitude, every desire, every habit. I need to search the scriptures to understand the LORD's heart - what does He love? What breaks His heart? What pleases Him?
Today I will focus on a simple but familiar scripture:
With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God?...He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:6, 8)
I will lay my heart before the LORD. Holy Spirit, teach me to love the LORD my God with all my heart. Teach me to love with God's love, seeing others through the eyes of Love Himself, walking in humility, filtering every thought, every attitude, every action, every plan through Love.
