Verse of the Day
A verse from an earlier day, with its reflection and prayer.
Love God with everything
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
Today's insight
To love God is not meant to be a divided or half-hearted pursuit. The call is to love Him "with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength," gathering every part of who you are—your affections, thoughts, and daily energy—into devotion to Him. Because "this is the first commandment," giving Him your whole being is the foundation for everything else in life.
Reflect
Which part of yourself—your heart, soul, mind, or strength—feels most weary or held back from God today?
Prayer
Lord my God, teach me to love You with everything I am. Take my heart, my thoughts, my soul, and all my daily strength, and help me offer them fully to You today. Amen.
