I desire to establish you with all my heart and all my soul.
I desire to establish you with all my heart and all my soul.
Jeremiah 32:41
I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them
in this land with all my heart and soul.
(NIV Bible)
I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them
in this land with all my heart and soul.
(NIV Bible)
When Father declared that He loved you, He didn't do it half-hearted. He planted you in His love with ALL His heart and soul. The love that God demonstrates does not go half way, but is fully committed to giving you everything and not holding back anything.
In the gospel of John, Jesus prays to the Father 'ALL I have is yours and ALL you have is mine'. The relationship between the Father and the Son is a love dynamic that is so full and so rich that it requires everything and yet gains everything in return.
God loves you and I so much that He wants to draw us into this same love relationship that He has with His Son. He has fully committed His heart and His soul to us, and the only thing that He asks of us in return is that we would respond by simply loving Him back.
Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love God with ALL our heart, ALL our strength, and ALL our soul. Father has already proved His love to us, giving up all that He loved to prove His love for us. But the question for us to ponder remains... Will we respond to His initiation of love, and love Him in return with ALL our heart and ALL our soul? He is waiting.
PRAYER
Father, I thank You for loving me with all Your heart and all Your soul. I know that You rejoice in doing good for me and have committed ALL that you have to me. In response to the initiation of Your love for me, I give You all that I have and all that I am in return. You are a wonderful Father and I am so glad to be Your child. In the name of Your beloved Son Jesus I pray, AMEN.
