Heart and Soul and Mind and Strength

McKnight claims “the heart is the center of one’s affections,” “the soul is center of one’s spirituality,” “the mind is the center of one’s rationality,” and “strength refers to our whole being … you body, your ambitions, your dreams, your bank account, your insurance policy, and your talents.” (pp 9 – 10)

He suggests –

  • Give what comes to mind to God by gently offering those affections and persons and ambitions today.
  • Give what comes to mind to God by offering your very soul to God.
  • Give your mind, all you think about today, to God.
  • To love is to give of ourselves; to love God is to give God all we are and all we have.  (pp 9 – 11)

Facing the Day: Offer you love today to God.
