Heart. Soul. Mind. Strength.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. Mark 12:30
Sometimes our lives get complicated and messy. We lose our focus and make the unimportant things seem super important. And in these moments we would give anything to get back to that newness we had when we first started to follow Christ. To Renew means to turn something that has grown old into something brand new. Just as Jesus healed people who were sick and made them well, he can take our whole lives -our heart, mind, strength, and soul, and make them new again.
Loving God with everything that we are renews our entire lives with a new focus that cuts through the mess. It’s like turning on the lights in a dark room or wiping the finger smudges from your sunglasses. Jesus wants to renew your life and help you turn your focus back on him
