June 17 Devotion - Love God with all your Heart


And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment
وتحب الرب الهك من كل قلبك ومن كل نفسك ومن كل فكرك ومن كل قدرتك هذه هي الوصية الاولى
Mark 12:30

When Jesus laid out the most important commandment for humanity, He started with loving the Lord with ALL of our hearts. I often wondered how can I love Jesus with all my heart.

The heart is where we keep our emotions, cares and desires. The rudder of my ship is my cares and desires.

In order to bring my life (ship) in from the storm, the rudder (my cares and desires) needs to be my love for God with all my heart.

How do I do that? Jesus teaches me that:

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
لانه حيث يكون كنزك هناك يكون قلبك ايضا
Matthew 6:21

 
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, I thank you for your abundant blessings. I praise You and glorify You. Jesus help me and teach me to make You my undisputed treasure. Help me to have the discipline of spending time with You daily and give me the gift of treasuring this time and rejoicing to be in Your presence. I love You God and I want to increase this love by quantum leaps. I pray in Jesus' name, to Him be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages.
Jesus Loves you
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
