Let’s take a closer look at Jesus’ words, shall we? Notice how He said you are to love God: with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, all your strength. It’s an all-out love. It holds nothing back. And it involves every part of your being—your emotions, your inner self, and your thoughts. This kind of love seeks to grow closer to God and know Him intimately. That’s how you fall more and more in love with someone—by getting to know them.
Growing more deeply in love with the Lord means spending time with Him.
But first, for this to happen, you must have a relationship with God through Christ. If you have received Christ as your Savior and Lord, then you are a child of God and you have a relationship with Him.
If you haven’t taken this step or you aren’t sure whether you have, then I would encourage you to contact me through my website NoRegretsWoman.com so I can send you an article I’ve written called: “How to Have a Relationship with Jesus.” This article is also found in the appendix of all of my books.
Getting back to loving God—here are specific steps you can take to grow in that love:
- Devote yourself to discovering God’s character qualities through Bible study. Study the Bible with other women who have a sincere desire to love God with all of their hearts.
- Read His Word and get to know Him better. The more you read the Bible, the more you’ll learn God’s desires for your life. You’ll come to see life—and your marriage relationship—from His perspective.
- Pray to Him throughout the day. Communicate with and talk to God regularly because love grows through frequent interaction.
- Fellowship with other believers who have a genuine love for the Lord. Let their love for Jesus serve as a contagious influence for you.
I can say with confidence that pursuing intimacy with God transformed my marriage, and I am confident that it can transform yours as well.
That’s because when your love for God is right, He will help you love your husband the way your heart longs to love him, and you will build a marriage with no regrets.
