Onward Christian Soldiers

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand
From the hymn ‘In Christ Alone’
Lyrics by Stuart Townend and Music by Keith Getty

Who do you love the most in this life?  You could reply; your husband, wife, partner, children, parents, friends, dog, cat etc, but your answer should always be God.  It took a while for me to fully realise this.  I felt guilty if I placed God before my daughter, but after much soul searching I began to see why God should always be placed at the top and should always be the one we love the most.  My daughter and myself now have the same reply to this question, we love God the most.  If God is the one we love the most, then everything else falls into place.  It’s as simple an answer as that.  Without God at the top of everyone and everything else, there will always be something missing in your life, your life will never be complete, but put God first and everything in life is put in the correct order.

Matthew 22: 37-38 (CSB)
He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the greatest and most important command.”
