Love God With All Your Soul
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Matthew 22:37
God wants us to love Him with all that we are. The soul is made up of the mind, will and emotions. According to the dictionary, our soul is that “part of a person with the functions of thinking and willing and the emotional nature determining all behavior.” In other words, loving God with all our soul is choosing to love Him with everything we do. We need to quit wasting our time occupying our minds and schedules with the distractions of the world and start getting mesmerized by God Himself!
Let the Creator of the universe give you His creative strategies and help you to plan exploits to change the world. Begin to make decisions about how you spend your time that will affect other people’s lives eternally. Wrap everything you are into loving God. Be passionate about expressing your love for Him. Maybe you’re an artist, a musician or a writer. Maybe God’s gifted you with some other creative expression. Ask God how you can love Him with your creativity. He will begin to open doors for you as you love Him with all your soul.
Right now, think about how to get what you have into other people. Write down some creative ideas, strategies or plans to use your God-given gifts to show God’s love to other people.
