“Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of your soul and all of your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:5
Something so awesome happened while doing bible study homework. The question was, “What is God’s great commandment?” The answer is in Deuteronomy 6:5. The amazing thing was that the words literally jumped off the page and pierced my heart!
I was so overwhelmed. It took awhile to process what was happening. I tried to recall if I had ever learned the great commandment in Catholic school. The one thing I did remember was that I was made to know God, to love Him and to serve Him.
If you had asked me if I loved God I would have said, “Yes,” but the love I had was casual. I took it for granted. God was way up there and loved me, and I was way down here and loved Him.
Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will enter and dine with him.” The Lord was knocking on my heart, and I finally heard and opened my heart.
I say this prayer every day: Lord Jesus Christ, I need you, believe in you and want you in my life. I invite you, Jesus, to come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Please heal, strengthen, guide and direct me. I love you Jesus.
