Mark 12:30  NASB “ AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’

My two year old loves the alphabet. Some mornings I wake up to hear him singing the ABCs from his crib. Part of his nightly routine is singing the song over and over again. When he sees writing on your shirt, or a sign, he wants to tell you what all the letters are. He doesn’t want us to read him his favorite books anymore; instead he goes through the pages and points at the letters. When he is allowed to watch videos on the TV, he always asks for the ABCs! Now that he has discovered the alphabet, it has eclipsed all else!

Our love for God is supposed to be that way, eclipsing everything else that came before it. Everything we have: our heart, soul, mind and strength, should be focused on God. It is easier said than done (that’s why Mark 12:30 is a commandment, not a promise) but the more we come to know our God, the deeper our love will grow!
