Summary
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” —Mark 12:30
Remember the lawyer who tried to trick Jesus by asking him to name the greatest commandment? (Lawyers, am I right?)
Jesus, knowing this guy’s antics, responded with, “Love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” If we break it down, what does it look like to love God with all of our heart?
Our heart is not just critical to our health; it’s also the epicenter of our spiritual life. It’s central to our thoughts and actions, where we spend money, and even the words that come out of our mouths. When Jesus talks about loving God with all our heart, he’s referencing our emotions and decisions.
In order for us to love God with all of our hearts, we have to prioritize spending time with him and in his word. When we spend time with God, we start wanting to do the things that are pleasing to God and we care about the things that he cares about. Having time with our creator enables us to know what he wants for our lives, and we can’t help but pursue him and the things he values and wants for our families.
Let’s pray this week that our kids learn to love God with all of their hearts, beginning with prioritizing time with him and pursuing him in all that they do.
Lord, teach us to show our love for you, not just with our words, but with our lifestyle. Lead [name] to prioritize time in your word and learn to pursue you in all that they do. Remind us that loving you means also loving our neighbor. Make us aware of the needs we can meet around us.
God’s word speaks: 1 John 4:7–8; 1 Corinthians 13:13; John 13:34; 1 John 4:19

| 0:17.4 | Week 30, I feel like I'm doing a podcast episode every 30 seconds. Y'all have got to be over my |
| 0:23.0 | voice at this point because I'm over my own voice. But we all do me a favor. Y'all need to ask the |
| 0:28.5 | girls to be on my podcast, Ella and Larson DeFaio. I keep asking them and they're like, no, thanks, |
| 0:32.9 | Mom, but I really think we could have some really cool conversations. So if you see them out in the wild, just say, hey, we really want to hear you on the podcast. |
| 0:40.8 | Because I think it would be interesting to hear their perspective about being raised in a Christian home and raised in one that cares deeply about all the things. |
| 0:49.8 | And where I was screwed up, I'm happy if they tell you all that too. |
| 0:53.9 | But anyway, this week we're praying |
| 0:56.6 | for heart. So yes and amen. Lord, we pray that our kids would be marked by a heart that loves you |
| 1:03.3 | with all over their heart. And Mark 1230, it says, love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, |
| 1:07.9 | and with all your mind, with all your soul, with all your strength. That is the greatest commandment. And yes, that is it. Lord, I want to love you with all my |
| 1:16.4 | heart, mind, soul, and strength. And I want that to be true of my kids as well. And I think as parents, |
| 1:21.8 | sometimes when they're really struggling, it's like we want to fix it so bad. But really all we can do is love the Lord. Your God, with all your heart and all your soul, that's the most important thing we can do and same for them, which I know is not the easiest fix when they're hurting. But we've got to just keep bringing them back to that as the greatest commandment. And then he says, in John 1334, a new command I give you is to love one another. As I have loved you, love one another. |
| 1:46.9 | By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. And that's not the |
| 1:51.4 | only place Jesus says that it's all through. That he's like, P.S., love me, love one another. |
| 1:57.3 | Love me, love one another. And I think that that verse is so cool because it's like, |
| 2:01.3 | as I have loved you, so if we're filled up in our hearts and our kids are filled up and their |
| 2:05.4 | hearts with the love of Jesus, it can overflow into loving other people. One story I want to tell |
| 2:10.9 | you is we were in the drive-through, imagine that at Chick-fil-A one time. And Ella was about five. |
