Thoughts: LORD, I Give You My Whole Heart For The Rest Of My Life
Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
The Bible teaches us many things, but there is one penetrating theme that is echoed throughout…Love the LORD God with ALL your heart! This principle is spoken of by most believers who declare that they practice this love continuously. The problem is that most of the Christian world is clueless to what it means to truly love God or to surrender the whole heart. We have become accustomed to saying things which conform to the scripture without experiencing what is required. I personally judge no one and simply state that which God Himself has revealed.
To truly grasp the understanding of what it means to surrender the whole heart to the LORD, we must understand the spiritual world. We must know that things are not as they seem or evidenced by what we see with our natural eyes. What we see is not always what is! There is an enemy of God whose purpose is to confuse us and draw us away from the truth of who God is. This enemy is the Devil, Satan, and/or all forces of evil. Again, without a clear experience of the holy spiritual realm, my comments will not be materialized in your hearts.
Know for a certainty that God created mankind to forever be in His presence; to rely on Him always. The evil forces of this world have taught man to not trust God by teaching self-reliance. Remember, Satan is all about Self! When you find yourself acting upon what is best for you alone, step back and question your motives. Always seek the face of the LORD God. Even if you do not have a personal relationship with the LORD and don’t know how to proceed, if you honestly want to know who He is, just ask. God WILL respond to all honest requests to know Him. I promise you…I guarantee you…, if you honestly and truly seek the LORD to develop a personal relationship with Him, it will be granted! Your request will be judged by God alone based on the contents and desires of your heart. What you proclaim with your mouth will not be received if the words spoken are not equivalent to what’s in the heart. God alone will discern the intent of the heart. Give the LORD your heart today and live the life you were created to live!
Be Blessed Always…
