“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind and with all thy strength.” (Mark 12:30).
God isn’t looking for any sacrifice except a surrendered heart. Anything else we can offer Him — money, goods, labor, good works, study of the Word, hours of prayer, ministry to others — none of those things have anywhere near as much value to Him as our individual hearts. When we make the decision to love Him with all of our hearts, all of our minds, all of our wills, and all of our strength, then — and only then — have we offered Him what His heart desires more than anything else in the universe.
He created everything we see, hear, touch, smell and taste — everything we interact with — from the tiniest seed planted in a field to the gold and diamonds dug from beneath the ground to the vast array of stars that beguile us at night — all of it was created for us. Without us, none of it gives Him the pleasure He deserves. We are the crown of His creation because we are at the core of His love. Give Him the joy He so richly deserves today. Give Him yourself — without hesitation — without reservation. Our surrendered hearts are the most precious sacrifice, and the most holy worship, we can give.
