Love God with all your heart

02/06/2018

  Judges 16:15 (KJV)
 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

We know the story of Samson and Delilah. We know how he turned his back on his people and their traditions and chose a woman form the Philistine Nation. However, it never stood out to me about how he had kept something from her as a sign that he had not totally given himself to her.

Sometimes, we Christians try to keep something hidden from God. We know that God sees all that we do never the less we try to hide it. When we do this, we are not giving 100% of our life to him. Is it because we do not trust him, or love him, or believe that he is able to take care of the problem, or because it is a sin?

Now Delilah stated; how can you say that you love me when you have not given me all of your heart? I wonder if God feels that way about us.

Lord, help us to love you with 100% of our heart, let us not love something or someone more that we love you. Show us when something or someone starts to be more important to us than you are. Amen.
