       First, we love him with all our hearts, which means with our whole being, with every part of us. And so, we have surrendered all to him, and this makes him pleased and happy. It doesn’t mean we don’t have peace, happiness, and joy in our lives; it means that everything we do, we do it through Christ. Second, we love God with all of our souls. We are obedient to him in all areas of our lives—not just some of the parts of our lives. God’s Word is to have say in all areas, not just the areas we want Him to have say in. In other words, we keep God in perspective in everything we do. Third, we love God with all our strength which means we live in a way that shows love for God with good effort. We are not half-hearted or lazy in our love for God. We find time to spend with him daily; we read his Word daily. Lastly, we love God with all of our minds, which means what we are thinking about throughout the day.
