March 29 Devotion - You shall love The Lord



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 heart. 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, thank You for Your inseparable, deep and everlasting love for me, Your abundant blessings in my life and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. Lord, I praise You and glorify You and lift you up on high. Jesus help me and teach me to make You my undisputed treasure. When I make You my undisputed treasure, I will be able to love You God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength. Lord, 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. In the name of The King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,
In Him,
