Him only

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This word was spoken by Moses to the children of Israel. When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment,  “Jesus replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself.”Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37-39 NLT

Although this came as a commandment first, we Christians are drawn to love Him, as He first loved us. No longer is it a ‘must do’ but a ‘want to do’. God freely gave us Jesus so that whomever believe in the work He did on the cross will have eternal life. This means gratitude! He saved us from eternal death and brought us into eternal life. Why would we want to be, do and go where we know He would not have us go?

Today I am battling with a problem: I am been invited to attend a Hindu wedding in a Hindu temple. The invitation came from a dear friend, however, my God is the lover of my soul, not my friend. I will go my Lord’s way only.

I want my God to have my strength, heart, soul and mind. I have energy only for His projects. He is where life is. Amen!
