Love God with all your heart

What does it mean to love God with all your heart?

It means to cleave to Him, to have the emotional, heartfelt response to Him of: Delight, reverential fear, resting in Him, of absolute trust and of peace.

It means being in a relationship with God that recognises Him as Lord, Master, King, Saviour, Father, Friend, Brother, Lover, Healer and Provider.

 

How does a Christian nurture this relationship and grow in His love for God?
