In Mark’s account of the Greatest Command, he highlights the depth of love we should have for God.
“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)
What does it mean to love God will heart, soul, mind, and strength?
I interpret that to mean that I should love Him with everything I feel (heart), who I am (soul), what I think (mind), and what I do (strength).
But can I love Him that completely if I don’t give Him my time?
If I add the phrase, “Love the Lord your God with all your time,” I am brought to a whole new level of application for what it means to truly and deeply love God.
This week, as many are making plans for the New Year, and as we have been recently reminded of one of God’s ultimate demonstrations of love by sending His Son to earth—I am going to reflect on what it means to love the Lord my God with all my time. That seems like a greater sacrifice of love than heart, soul, mind, and strength.
How can you love God with all your time this week and into next year?
