Listen Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.
– Deuteronomy 6:4-6 (NLT)
LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOU GOT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Listen, all you people, there is only one God!
You must bring him all the glory and laud
You must love the Lord with all your heart
He is your strength so never leave or depart.
Commit yourselves wholeheartedly to his commands
He will bring blessings and provide for life’s demands
Love God with all that you got and follow his ways
He will lead you to the path to his kingdom if you obey.

Have you been in love so deeply that you gave it all you got Parental love is most likely the closest to what our heavenly Father feels for us. God’s love for us is unfathomable and our parent’s love is a poor comparison to God’s unfailing and unconditional love. I am sure that if you have children who are now adults, your heart would have been broken by one of your child’s poor choice or blatant disobedience. They may have gone astray or put themselves in deep trouble.
The bible tells us to love God with all your heart, soul and strength and obey his commands.________________________________________
PRAYER
Lord, let me give back the love you give me with all I have.
REFLECTION
How do you manifest loving God with all you got?

If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. –Matthew 10:37 (NLT)
LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL
A poem by ILMA
Do you spend more time honoring your father and mother?
Do you take time to pray and be with your heavenly father?
What preoccupies your mind and heart?
Do you invest in spending time with God or stay apart?
If you love your sons or daughters more than the Lord
You do not deserve to be worthy of his love and his word
Love God above all else and you will reap a harvest
He promised all will be will if you make him first.
There are many kinds of things that we can idolize such as a house or a car that we love so much, but what if it is a loved one that is your idol? When you have a family, it is good to be in a healthy relationship with them, but when you prioritize your parents or children more than God, then you are not worthy of being called God’s people. The bible says that we must put God first in all. His command says that we love him first, then our neighbors as ourselves.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to make you first in everything.
REFLECTION
Why should we prioritize God?
