DAILY READINGS: 2 Samuel 1; Micah 3 to 4:8; Romans 9:30 to 10:21
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5
To love God with all our heart we must first of all will to do so. We should repent our lack of love and determine from this moment on to make God the object of our devotion. We shall soon find to our great delight that our feelings are beginning to move in the direction of the “willed tendency of the heart.“ Our emotions will become disciplined and directed. We shall begin to taste the “piercing sweetness“ of the love of Christ. The whole life, like a delicate instrument, will be tuned to sing the praises of Him who first loved us. —E. MacLelland
A mind that has the will of God abides in perfect peace,
For he loves God with all his heart, and praises never cease.—Author Unknown
