Reflect today on your total love for God

When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered and one of them, a student of the law, tested him by asking, "Master, which commandment of the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "You will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22: 34-37

"With all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind." In other words, with your whole being!

What does this depth of love look like in practice? It is easy for this to become a lofty thought or a sermon of words, but it is difficult to let this thought or sermon become a testimony of our actions. Do you love God with your whole being? With every part of who are you? What exactly does this mean?

Perhaps this depth of love will manifest itself in many ways, here are some qualities of this love that will be present:

1) Entrustment: entrusting our life to God is a requirement of love. God is perfect and, therefore, loving him requires that we see his perfection, understand this perfection and act in accordance with it. When we see and understand who God is, the effect is that we have to trust Him completely and without reservation. God is almighty and loving. An almighty and loving God must be trusted to an unlimited extent.

2) Inner Fire: Self-confidence inflames our hearts! This means that we will see the Holy Spirit doing amazing things in our souls. We will see God act and transform us. It will be more than we could ever do to ourselves. God will take charge and do great things in us, transforming our lives, just as a burning fire becomes all consuming.

3) Actions Beyond Your Capabilities: The effect of a blazing fire of the Holy Spirit within us is that God will do great things in the lives of those around us through us. We will witness God at work and be amazed at what He does. We will witness firsthand his incredible power and transforming love and it will happen through us. What a gift!

Reflect today on your total love for God. Are you all inside? Are you fully committed to serving our Lord and His holy will? Do not hesitate. It's worth it!

Lord, help me to love you with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. Help me to love you with my whole being. In that love, please transform me into your instrument of grace. Jesus I believe in you!
