“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” Mark 12:30, ESV.
There was a time in my life when I wanted to love God wholeheartedly, but I didn’t know how. I felt it was an impossible standard to live up to. Then one day while watching a Christian television broadcast, the preacher said, when it comes to loving God with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength, that’s something you have to say by faith. So right there in my living room, I began to declare my love for God, and overtime those words have taken shape and have become more of a reality for me.
My sister, I encourage you to say it anyway! Call those things that be not as though they are (see Romans 4:17). Declare your love for Him by faith, and your words will take shape and will become a reality for you.
Say out loud from your heart today:
“Lord, I say right now by faith that I love you with all my heart, I love you with all my mind, I love you with all my soul, and I love you with all my strength. I love you with everything in me, and nothing makes me happier than to be your daughter and trust you! In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
(Read John 14:15)
