Loving God with All My Soul

One of life's paradoxes is that each of us wants to be unique yet we all try to be alike. Peer pressure doesn't end after adolescence. We just think less about it because we've finally migrated to a group where we are indistinguishable from everyone around us.

But God has more in mind for us than mindless conformity to others. He wants us to be transformed into the image of his perfect Son and thus have God's own image restored in us.

The word soul in Scripture is translated from words that mean "breath." Our souls are the breath of God in us, and God's breath turns each of us from a clump of clay into a piece of original artwork.

All art reflects some aspect of its creator. Artists, writers, and composers have a style, a voice, that is unique to them and that comes through in every creation. The same is true of God's artwork.

Scripture proclaims that each of us is unique, so if we settle for being like someone else, we rob the world of what God intended that we would contribute to it.

Consider this: Each of us starts as a thought in the mind of God, and the great adventure of life is to discover what God was thinking when he formed us.

Do you know what God was thinking when he formed you? Don't miss the adventure of finding out. Loving God with All My Soul points to the place where every journey must begin.
