Scripture tells us in Matthew 22:37 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” So what does loving God look like in our everyday lives:
~ Spending quality time with the Lord: having daily devotions and prayer time (When you love someone, you want to spend time with them.) As we study God’s Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives.
~ In our conversation: Talk about God (learn to make God a part of your everyday conversation; remember as it says in Malachi 3:16 that when we talk about God He writes it in the Book of Remembrance)
~ Through our calendar: Not just on Sunday but everyday we should make time for God! (Be aware of God’s presence in your daily routine). James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
~ With your character: Our love for God should flow through our character. It tells us in 1 John 5:3 ‘For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.’
Bottom line is that we surrender to the Lord in every aspect of our lives. It is about developing our relationship with God as we grow deeper and deeper in our Christian walk. Remember the Greatest Commandment: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
