All of it

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
          and thou shalt love the Lord thy God
             with all thine heart
             and with all thy soul
             and with all thy might." {deut. 6.4-5}

What does a Christian look like if she offers all her love to God, if all the love in her heart, soul, and body is poured out in his service? What does it look like but like the Son of God, who gave all of himself out of love? How poorly we frail beings fulfill the calling to love.

Loving God is a high calling, but it's a mandate given to each created being. Not a shred of the love within us is there to stay--it's all to be poured out in service, in commitment, in dedication. How can it be possible to give it all? How can we possibly find the stamina to maintain such output? God, who is rich in mercy, fills us again, progressively leading us to understand what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of the love of Christ, which passes all earthly knowledge. We are filled with all the fulness of God.

"Take my love; my God, I pour at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee." {frances r. havergal}
