Do you love God with all your heart? This is the ultimate commandment, the action which we are called to adhere to. This means including God in our work and other activities, our reading and writing, no matter how spiritual, and even during our external devotions and vocal prayers.
As often as we can, we are to stop for a brief moment, to love God deep in our heart, and savor God even if brief and in secret. Our awareness of this presence within the deep center of our soul draws us to love God in the small and big moments of our life.
Ultimately, we can offer God no greater evidence of our faithfulness than by frequently detaching and turning from all things created so we can enjoy their Creator. However, we don’t abandon our given duties but allow wisdom to guide us. Spiritually minded people turn from outside activities from time to time to worship God within themselves and enjoy some small moments of peace of divine presence.
The mystery of faith is believing God lives in our hearts and that all our thoughts, words, and actions belong to God. And realizing that through our fragility, we find that God is our strength.
Thank you, Lord, for Your love, wisdom, and strength.
