“Thinking of you keeps me awake. Dreaming of you keeps me asleep. Being with you keeps me alive.” – Unknown
OK. We must love Him with all our heart, soul, and might.
Might is an interesting word. We might do something, or it might mean strength or power. To love Him with all your might is a tall order. Most of us might do it now, or for many of us, we might not do it.
Loving Him with all my heart, soul, and might is a verse that resonates deeply within me. It is not just a commandment but a call to love Him with a passion that engulfs every part of our being, surpassing any feeling we have ever experienced.
In John 21, Jesus asked the apostle Peter, “Do you burn with love for Me?” Peter answered, “You know I have great affection for You.” That was not the answer Jesus was looking for.
When we burn with love for Him, we don’t want to do anything to displease Him or hurt Him. How do we know what would displease Him? What would grieve Him? We can even know the word by taking heed of His word and not obeying it. To burn with love for Him is to feel that love grip your heart and soul with such might, power, and ongoing strength that you never want to let go for any reason.
You can’t explain that love for Him you feel deep within. His power can make it difficult to utter a word or leave you stuck to a chair where you can’t move. Loving Him with all your might is the greatest emotion our hearts can achieve.
Trusting Him is one thing, but loving Him with all your might is a deep and gripping feeling of love that grows stronger daily. It is a commitment, a dedication to keep the flame of love burning within us.
My thoughts have been rambling. Please excuse me, but feeling that burning love that starts with a spark and becomes a flame never dies down.
Embark on a journey to seek Him with all your might, for He will become the lover of your heart and soul in this pursuit! This is not a mere task but a transformative process that will touch you deeply.
