"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." - Matt 12:30

This passage really stood out to me today. We are to love the Lord with all of these different parts that make up our total being. Not just a portion of our mind, not just a part of our heart, not just a piece of our soul, and not with a some of our strength. Our love for Him is to be all consuming of our lives and being. This next verse sums up why we can love God this way:

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." - 1 John 4:10
