Hear, O Israel: 

The LORD our God,

      the LORD is one.

You shall love the LORD your God

   with all your heart

   and with all your soul

   and with all your might.

And these words

       that I command you today

  shall be on your heart.

              Deuteronomy 6.4-5

(What is on my heart?

What a different place

   this world would be

if we loved God that way?

How we love God

   changes how we see Him,

   how we treat others,

   and how we view ourselves.

Loving God

  changes the course of our lives

  and everyone around us.

Not a matter of following rules,

      but loving God.

What does that look like today?

How different our hearts,

     how different our world.)

O LORD,

Your love daily lifts us up,

     holds us together,

     strengthens us,

   and helps us see in the dark.

May our love for You

  change everything about us,

invade all that we do,

infiltrate every dimension

                   of our hearts,

and bear incredible fruit

    that will outlive us.
