God commands us to love Him first, with all of our might, with
all of strength, with all of our minds and with all of our hearts. Everything
He commands is for our own good, isn’t it? How do we put that command into
practice? Practice is a good place to begin. Practice giving Him thanks and
praise first thing every morning.
Love the
Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind
and with all your strength. Mark 12:30
Practice praying
throughout the day. If a friend or loved one comes to mind, there is a good
chance it is the Holy Spirit’s nudging. Pray. Remind yourself that Jesus died
for you and loves you unconditionally. Since He loves you so much, it isn’t
hard to love Him right back. Your soul can be at rest, even when your mind and
your body and your emotions are out of sorts.
Truly my
soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him. Psalm 62:1
Practice saying, “I
love you Jesus,” every night before you go to sleep. If you are too tired to
pray that is a good way to give your cares to Him. He will watch over you as
you sleep. Practice His presence. Remind yourself of His consistent companionship.
Love Him right back. Have faith.
I love
the Lord, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy. Psalm 116:1
Father,
Let Your Spirit nudge me throughout the day. I love You, my
triune God. I love Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Remind me to practice praying,
listening and recognizing Your blessings throughout each day. I praise You.
In Jesus name,
Amen
