In this verse, Jesus is telling us something important about who we are. He isn’t just asking us to love Him for His own sake. Instead, He’s asking us to love Him because it’s what we were created to do; all of our hearts, souls, and minds we created to love Him.
And as counter-intuitive as it may seem, sometimes loving Him means resting and relaxing and just taking time to recuperate those hearts, souls, and minds.
In other words, loving God with everything in us doesn’t mean being “on” 24/7. It does, however, mean being intentional24/7.
To love God well and live for Him, we have to rest. We need it, and believe it or not, that rest can actually be a form of loving God—after all, it’s taking care of the heart, soul, and mind that Hecreated!
What time of the day is it easiest for you to find time to rest physically and mentally? Set a reminder on your phone for that time so that you don’t forget to . . . relax.

About this Plan
A 25-day high school devotional designed to complement the teaching series “Rhythm” (available from Orange Students curriculum). In this devotional, you’ll find thoughts on spiritual habits and what it looks like to worship God with our whole lives. As we do, we’ll see that when we find the right rhythm to our worship, we’ll also find ourselves walking in better rhythm with the God we’re worshiping.
