Love the Lord Wholeheartedly
Sermons of the Servant (Mk 11-13)
The final week of Jesus’ earthly
life dawns; that period of time
which occupies more space in
the Gospels than any other stage
of Jesus’ ministry. His arrival in
Jerusalem coincides with the
preparations for the Feast of
Passover. Though events move
quickly, Jesus is never hurried.
There is time to clean the temple,
watch the widow contributes
her two mites, and give final
instructions to the disciples.
Lord, we Love You Wholeheartedly:
(A teacher of religious law asked
Jesus): Of all the commandments
which is the most important?
Jesus replied: You must love
the Lord your God with all
your heart, all your soul, all
your mind and all your strength.
The second is equally important:
Love your neighbour as yourself.
No other commandment is greater
than these (Mark 12:28-31).
(Jesus) called his disciples to him
and said: I assure you, this poor
widow has given more than all
the others have given. For they
gave a tiny part of their surplus,
but she poor as she is, has given
everything she has (v43-44) Amen
Lord, I am often too busy and
distracted to remember the most
important thing of all: Your love.
Help me to lay aside all else and
order my day around my love
for You. Teach me how to love
You and how to love people as
Christ loves them. As You fill me
with Your love, lead me to those
who need to know Your love. Amen
Lord, I fully yield myself to you;
all that I have, all that I am, and
all that I hope to be. I give you
everything about me,my strengths
as well as my weaknesses. They
are yours to do with as U please.
I submit my heart, mind and will
to You Lord Jesus. You alone are
Lord of my life. I am thankful that
I can trust You with anything that
involves me in any way, whether
big or small. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before U, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain,
I’m making them yours.
Things in t past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are
yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart & my hands are lifted to U
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I’ve been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life. Amen
