Love the Lord your God
April 22, 2008
with all your heart
This means your emotions. Your feelings and desires should be primarily for His will. Selfish desires and wants are important to Him, but they are secondary to His plan. The joy of your heart should not come from the fulfillment of your requests to Him, but rather because His plan is perfect.
and with all your soul
This means your life. We have been created with a life that can choose to seek God, His salvation, and His ways. We need to entrust the path of our physical life to Him, and truly love Him through our life by obeying His commands.
and with all your mind.
This means your thoughts. Sometimes wrong thoughts occur to us spontaneously, and we can not do anything about that. But we can choose to continue pursuing that thought or dismiss it from our mind. We need to make sure that our thoughts are pure and glorifying to God.
–Matthew 22:37
