Loving God with All My Heart: I dive into the greatest commandment Part 1, that Jesus quoted from Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV): “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind.” I began to expound in this back Episode 8 of Season 3, Everything Depends On This, where I explored the centrality of loving God above all else, I now zoom in on the four dimensions: loving God with all my heart, soul , mind and strength in a four part serries. I explore what it means to give God the full devotion in each of these areas. The seat of my emotions, desires, and deepest affections. I reflect on the battles we face to keep our lives devoted and undivided, free from competing loves or distractions that dull my fervor for Him.

I’m convicted by the urgent call to put away childishness. 1st Corinthians 13:11: “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” I reflect on the baggage of spiritual immaturity—those lingering habits, petty battles, and distractions from my younger days—that I’ve let hang around too long. I confront what spiritual childishness looks like in our life: the self-centeredness, the fleeting passions, the stubborn grudges that weigh me down. I’m done clinging to this useless garbage. I explore how to intentionally shed these immature ways, stepping boldly into the spiritual adulthood God calls me to—a life marked by purpose, wisdom, and devotion to Him.#SpiritualGrowth #PutAwayChildishness #MatureInChrist #FaithForward

I'm gripped bey the idea of maturing into ministers of His grace, and by the call to grow up into the fullness of who God created me to be, as inspired by Ephesians 4:15-16: “we... speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” I reflect on God’s desire to shape me into a fully functional, capable minister of His grace and a bold ambassador of reconciliation, drawing humanity back to Him. Yet, I often find myself immature, unprepared when He calls. How is God breaking this cycle, urging me to shed childish ways and step into spiritual maturity.
