Love God And His Purposes | Consumed | P. Jason Lozano

<p>Mark 12:30-31 love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, mind, and with all your strength. 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these<br/><br/>1. Love the Lord with All Your Heart and Life <br/><br/>Gen 15:1 Do not fear, Abram    I am your shield, your very great reward.<br/><br/>Ps 27:1,4,8 The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life  of whom shall I be afraid? The one thing I want from God, the thing I seek most of all, is the privilege of meditating in his Temple, living in his presence every day of my life, When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”<br/><br/>Life without the touch of heaven or that supernaturalness of God’s presence is a weak and dissatisfied life <br/><br/>Ps 63:1 I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you;  my whole body longs for you in this dry and weary land where there is no water.<br/><br/>Ps 42:1-2,5 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again my Savior and my God <br/><br/>Fear and discouragement leave when we encounter God’s presence <br/>In His presence we receive His joy and His view point (promises)<br/><br/>1 Sam 30:6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was bitter, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened (and encouraged) himself in the (presence of) the Lord his God<br/><br/>Ps 16:11 In Your presence is fullness of joy<br/><br/>Neh 8:10 Don’t be sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!<br/><br/>1 Jn 4:18,19 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has fully matured in love, We love Him because He first loved us<br/><br/>2. Love and Serve the Lord with Al
