Giving Our Heart Completely to God in the New Year

Is giving our heart completely to God possible? And, is it easy?

I believe the answers are Yes and No respectively.

Ever since I gave my heart to the Lord at sixteen, I’ve heard God’s people speak about whole-hearted devotion to the Lord.

Also, how committed believers protect their heart from becoming divided.

Because the Lord never meant for the human heart to belong completely to anything or anyone other than Him.

In college, I chose 2 Chronicles 16:9a as my life verse:

“For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” (NASB 1995, emphasis added)

According to Dictionary.com, the phrase to and fro means “a continuous or regular movement backward and forward.”

The Lord is looking for people with this kind of undivided devotion and heart for Him.

So if it’s really possible, but not easy, where do we even start and how do we go about it?

The Bible is the best place to discover the key to giving our heart completely to God.

Giving Our Heart: Love, Serve, Seek

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” Deuteronomy 6:5 (ESV, emphasis added)

“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Deuteronomy 10:12 (NIV, emphasis added)

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV, emphasis added)

The Lord never meant for the human heart to belong completely to anything or anyone other than Him. Share on X Read More…
