Loving God wholeheartedly…

017

“God’s insistence on wholeheartedness toward Him is not for His own gratification.  He is not an insecure narcissist looking to His created beings for affirmation.  He knows exactly who He is and of what He is capable.  His insistence on wholeheartedness is for our benefit.  Loving God with all of our hearts allows us to experience the heights and fullness of what it means to be human.”

  1. At times we think loving God is hard. To do the work of loving Him, trying to gain His affection or approval. How very wrong that thinking that is...He loves us to no end and what a precious thing to delight in Him by giving Him all of ourselves.

    Thanks for this quote...

  2. Beautiful picture, and a great thought--yes, to love him wholeheartedly--that is my desire.
