What Does It Mean?

Today's conversation on "Our Daily Journey" was What does it mean to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind”?

To love the Lord your God with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind...to me..means that I let Him in, I am totally devoted to Him, and everything that I do is for HIM and His Glory. It means that I do nothing without considering Him, consulting Him, submitting to Him and being obedient to Him. He has my total attention, and my complete loyalty. I give God my first, my last and my only Praise in the waking hours. I desire and work daily to please Him.

When you love a person (romantically), who is made of flesh and blood, you let them in.

You wake up with that person on your mind, you think of them throughout the day, you go to bed thinking of them. You do nothing to deliberately hurt them, but rather you wonder, 'What can I do to make him or her happy?" You compliment them and take advantage of every opportunity to spend time with him or her, and you look forward to every encounter. You believe them, you trust them, you are loyal to them, you share the deepest parts of yourself with them and listen to them with sincere interest. But most of all, you create a bond. And you do whatever you can to make sure that your bond, your connection, remains strong and unbreakable.

How much MORE is my love for He that created me, He that saved me, He that comforts me?  He that first loved me.  My existence is not complete, without my Father God, my Lord and Savior Jesus, and my Comforter, the Holy Spirit.

Devotion, as defined by Dictionary.com, is "profound dedication; earnest attachment to a cause, person".

That's what loving the Lord your God with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind means to me.
