With ALL that I am, I will love YOU.

Today during my devos, I read Matthew 22 and was reminded of the command to love the Lord with my heart, soul, mind and strength. This is the greatest commandment. AKA a non-negotiable. There’s really no option as a believer. So if I’m not doing this, if I’m not giving the Lord EVERYTHING that I have, how can I expect everything else to fall into place?

I feel like the summer is a great time to be unwillingly stripped of distractions. I mean, I just moved back home from college, my best friends are scattered around the US, and my busy life has come to halt. Honestly, it’s God’s grace that I am virtually alone, because it is during this time that I have no choice but to lean on him.

So, step 1 of the summer is to focus on the Lord. I want to dwell in His presence. If I’m seeking Him with my whole heart, I WILL find him. That is a promise He gives in Jeremiah. I don’t need to seek people or opportunities…I need to seek God and those things will come to me. And if you seek the Lord, those things will come to you too.
