Love the Lord Wholeheartedly
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).
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 & order
each day around my love for You.
Teach me how to love You and to
love people as Christ loves them.
As You Lord fill me with Your love,
lead me to those who need to know
Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, I fully yield myself to You;
all that I have, all that I am, and
all that I hope to be. I submit
to You Lord everything about me,
both strengths and weaknesses;
they are Yours to do as You please.
I submit my heart, mind and will to
You for You alone are Lord of my life.
I purpose to trust You Jesus with
anything both big or small. 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.
