Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.
Sold out for all of You God. Thank you. Thank you for giving us presence of mind, body and soul to think on your goodness. May we not forsake who you are in our lives for the things of this world. May we meditate and concentrate on doing an excellent work for and unto you. In Jesus name. Amen

God wants all of us. I have said I love a lot of things in this lifetime. I love candy. I love cookies. I love cake. I love my family. I love my children. I love my husband. However, none of these things, nor the love I have for them can compare to an all-consuming love like that of the Father. I cannot and will not say that I love them with my whole being. Yet, I can say that the love of Christ, the one who crafted and created me draws me. His love consumes me as I create a life that is pleasing to Him. Using my gift of creativity to make candles. Reading His word and seeing Him operate in the relationships that I have with people. Recognizing that the mind is a temple, He saw fit to gift. Using the mind gifting temple to propel the body temple into action. Feeding the body with nourishing substances, so that the body temple is energized and equipped to provide service pleasing to Him. Being thoughtful that the mind, body, and heart of who He is in our lives resided in the soul (spirit). A soul which thirsts and longs to be filled by Him. Help us not to sue placebos in the place that belongs to you God. Help us to see you in our situation and circumstances. Forever fighting on our behalf. Knowing that you have an all-consuming love for us Father. Help us to continue to dwell in that secret place with you. Knowing that you care. Knowing that peace is who You are. Knowing that our love for you should mirror your love for us. Living the first and great commandment, to be sold out for you. That you gave your one and only so that we may have life Father. Help us to be sold out for you. All of us.

Father, help us to remember you. Help us to remember you in our thoughts, actions, and deeds. May your love for us be the guide by which we live. May we hear your voice and go that way. May we love you and your children with an all-consuming love that shows the world who you are. May we get out of your way Father and be in your will. Amen
