I'm Back!

Hey everyone, sorry to leave you hanging for so long I had other things to do that required I pay full attention to them. Long week, or two whatever it's been.. I really felt God calling me to share the word on a Sunday morning and with Mike&Moe being away I offered to fill a need if one should arise. Turned out there was a spot that I could be used so I got to my studying, I had already felt the Spirit leading me in a direction so I just spent some time in prayer and hit the books.

Well Sunday's gone and past and God showed up thankfully, cause if I had it would've been terrible haha. I just wanted to share a little of what I shared on Sunday here for my friends and blog fans.

Matthew 22:37-39
“And he said to him, “You should love the Lord your God with all your heart (kardia – inner self)and with all your soul (psyche – your animate self) and with all your mind (dianoia – understanding). This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”

Let’s take a deeper look at what Jesus is saying; each one of these overlaps the other, even in the Greek; the Kardia, Psyche and Dianoia all reflect one another. It’s with all of your heart, all of your soul and all of your mind. There is no exclusivity here; were to love God with all of our being our whole person, with everything that we are. Together these three demand our love for God to come from our whole person. It’s his first and greatest commandment. It requires us to lay down our selfishness, our motives and to give it all to him! I love how Deuteronomy says it

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 ESV.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

Isn’t that so incredible, WITH ALL YOUR HEART, ALL YOUR SOUL and ALL YOUR MIGHT! It’s so important that we need to always keep these words on our heart; we need to teach them to our kids and meditate on them day and night, to bind them to our hands a reminder like a sticky note on your fridge or mirror in your bathroom, and it needs to be always on our mind. Were to love God with everything we are. With all our might!

That wasn't the entire message but was definitely one of the key points. I also wanted to tell you all that the book I finished by Timothy Keller - The Reason For God. IS A MUST READ Seriously hands down one of the best books I've read this year (aside from my bible, which I'm currently reading Hebrews right now goooooood stuff!)
Anyways thanks for reading, thanks for your comments and know that I pray for you!

Blessings!
