Luke tells us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind." In the Message, it reads this way: "love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence." So, with everything you have.
How do we do that? With God's help! When we pray, we enlist the power of the universe to help us. Then we can do what seems impossible. God gives us His love and strength and He shows us how to love him back.
He also gently shows us where we are holding back from him: our passion is going somewhere it shouldn't, we aren't praying about something we should, we are spending our time and energy in unhealthy ways, or we are not paying attention to what we are allowing in our thoughts. Don't be afraid - God loves you more than you could know. He has a plan for you and IT IS GOOD!

So often we fill our day with the business of life, or push ourselfs in projects so we don't have to think about things that ache our hearts & weigh on our minds. We don't take the time to sit and talk with God-or just listen to what he has to say to us. He is always there to listen, but we need to take time to talk & listen to Him. He is the one who is ALWAYS available. Yes He loves us so much. It is part of the circle of life-God is there in the center of our lives if we just let Him be with us and count on Him at all times. He loves us no matter what-a love we can't seem to comprehend, for we have never had a love as great and deep as God has for us. I am glad He loves me, i count on His love. I need His love...we ALL do
