Mentoring Moment: Part 4: Love God with your soul (M1P4)
Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12: 29-31

“The Soul encompasses and organizes the whole person, interrelating all the other dimensions of the self so that they form one person functioning in a flow of life. It’s like the computer that runs a business in the background.” Dallas Willard

The Soul is the most inner part of our being. We hide the soul space from God and others, we cover it with metaphoric fig leaves and hide behind trees because it’s the place where we are most known and most vulnerable. The soul space is where we are truly known, where we experience true intimacy with the Father. Let God into your soul space and He will heal you and you will become who you were always designed to be.

What is the soul?
How do we love God with our souls?
How do we care for our soul?
