What do you give "your all" to? You know what I mean, is it your job, children, husband, hobby? In other words, do you give your best effort to accomplishing your job responsibilities, without distraction? Do your children or husband come first in your life, before your own needs? Do you devote hours to a special interest, letting other things go so you can give it all your attention? Do you give your all to helping a friend or family member, setting aside your own tasks to do something for another? We know what it looks like when we give all...usually giving all will require sacrifice, meeting the needs or demands of another means letting some of your own needs or demands be put on the back burner while you do what is needed.
Giving our all isn't a negative trait. In fact, devotion and diligence, commitment to a cause or person, perseverence and unselfish surrender of self are signs of a person you can depend on. The question for us to consider is this, do we give our ALL to God? Our ALL belongs to Him, first.
Take a few minutes to consider where you give your ALL and hit the reset button...refocus your ALL on God...He deserves it!
“Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.”
