MY QUESTION for GOD

How do I love God with all my heart, soul, and strength?

A MOMENT with GOD

You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.

Deuteronomy 6:5

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.

Psalm 116:1

When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love. . . . I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!

John 15:10-11

Love covers a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8

In modern culture love is often defined in romantic or sentimental terms. According to the Bible, love is indeed a feeling, but it is also more than that. It is a commitment that both protects and produces passionate feelings. Because it is a commitment, love is not dependent on warm feelings alone but on a consistent and courageous decision to extend yourself for the well-being of someone else. Loving feelings can produce commitment, but commitment can also produce loving feelings. Jesus perfectly demonstrated God’s unconditional love for you when he made the loving commitment to lay down his life to save you from your sins. When you love God with all your heart, soul, and strength, you are making a commitment to develop a relationship with the Creator of the universe, who loved you first and daily pursues you with his love.

DIVINE PROMISE

The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16
