Love God With Your Strength

5 min

Love for God reaches beyond feelings into energy, effort, habits, and capacity. Jesus is worthy not only of what we think and feel but of what we do with our strength. This is not a call to religious performance, but to a sincere response of faith and obedience to Jesus Christ. Let the truth move from the page into the choices, words, and relationships of this day.
