Jesus said to him. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
All is a big word. Depending on how it is used, it can engulf everything from the entire universe to the contents of your pocket. All is an inclusive word; in includes everything to which it pertains. All is an awesome idea. God completely understands all. There is no in-between when we say all. If we love God with all of our hearts, then He is everything to us. God is everything or He is nothing. This is why Jesus told john to write to the Laodicean church in Revelations 3:15 & 16. He told them, "I wish you were cold or hot...Because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth." This graphic language makes it obvious that God is serious about our love relationship with Him. He wants - He demands - our all. He deserves it, for He withholds nothing from us.
Pastor John
