Attention!

Attention, Israel! God, our God! God the one and only! Love God, your God, with your whole heart: love him with all that’s in you, love him with all you’ve got! Deuteronomy 6:4‭-‬5 MSG

The call goes out again today. There is only one God, the One and only. He loves to have a relationship with everyone he has created; after all, we were created for his pleasure and glory. He gave his all, so I could have all of him. He then demands absolute love and devotion from me.

I can't give him half hearted devotion. I can't offer him less than my best. It is dangerous to assume I can deceive God by pretending to be sincere, while I am doing the very opposite. Men may be impressed; God is not like man.

All I am and all I have must be laid at the feet of the One who owns it all in the first place. He is the One who calls me his own, and is all I need. When I have him, I have all that matters. If he is not my all, then I really don't have anything. His time of favour is here.
