How You Lovin’?

We are instructed to love the Lord our God with everything inside of us. Our heart, our soul, and with all our strength. Our hearts love God when we allow it to be fed God’s word, because His word explains how to love. Everyone’s idea of love can be very different. To love the Lord with our souls is where we must invoke our will to make it happen. The soul area of the human makeup is where all the minutiae is dealt with. Lots of unwanted thoughts are dealt with in our soul-ish area which houses our emotions. Renewing our minds with God’s word, gives understanding in how to love the Lord with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. The joy of the Lord is our strength, so the sooner we learn of the Lord and His way of doing things, we will be resting in His joy which turns into strength for our life (Nehemiah 8:10). God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to be sacrificed for our sins (John 3:16). Instead of us all winding up in hell paying for our sins, Jesus took the hit for everyone. Loving the Lord means we are amenable to follow his commandments which help keep us safe. Doing what the Lord has commanded in his word gives Him clear evidence you love him (John 14:15).
