Truly Loving God

Scripture: Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: ” `Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

Observation: I love God, but not in the way I should. I should love God above everything and at all times. During the course of the day I hardly think of my Lord instead of Him being the utmost in my thoughts, word and deeds. To love God in the way I should I would be thinking, if I do this, does it honor my God?

Application: God needs to be first place in my life at all times. In everything I do I need to think how I can do it in a way that would be pleasing to Him. When I wake up in the morning and talk to my Lord I should treat Him as the most important person in my life, which He is and deserves to be.

Prayer: Dear Father I do love you and I want to draw closer to you. I want you in my thoughts constantly and I want to know what would please you each day. You are the most important thing in my life, help me stay focused on you.
