Loving God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength means surrendering to Him completely. It is to subject yourself to what His Word says.

It is to decide to do His Will even though you have the freedom of choice. It means using your abilities and intelligence to magnify His Name Also. It is remembering Him every moment, from morning to night. It is longing to apply His principles, delighting in His answers, enduring and rejoicing in everything, even in the midst of the hardest trials in life.

Those who truly love God are will to sacrifice themselves day after day. This proves that the Lord is indeed first in their lives (Matt. 22.36-38).
