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
I often wondered how can I love Jesus with all of my
soul? Do you know what the definition of
your soul is? I researched it and came to the conclusion that the soul is the
place where we make our decisions and choices that ultimately decide our
behaviour.
If we treasure our relationship with the Lord our
choices and behaviour will reflect that.
In order to bring my life (ship) in from the storm,
the rudder (my choices and behaviour ) needs to be my love for God with all my
soul. How do I do that? Jesus teaches me
that:
“If you love Me, keep My
commandments.”
ان كنتم تحبونني فاحفظوا وصاياي .
John 14:15
So my love for God with all my soul will be
demonstrated by my choice and behaviour in keeping His commandments in my life
and the rudder of my ship is controlled by every Word that proceeds from the
mouth of God.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, I thank you for your abundant blessings and for Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. Jesus help me
and teach me to make the right decisions and choices. Strengthen me Lord to
keep Your commandments and to love You with all my soul by living in a way that
pleases you and is based on Your Word O’Lord. God I praise You, glorify You and lift You
up on high. I thank You and adore You. In
the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Jesus I
pray. I
declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, to
Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion
forever and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
