Luke 10:27 states, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind.”
Numerous things can distract us from our love for Christ. We tend to prioritize sports, school, and friends. No matter how caught up we become in our busy lives, however, God is always waiting for us. He reminds us of the emotions we experienced at camp. Some of my favorite memories here involve standing next to campers who joyously sang songs of praise at the top of their lungs. They didn’t care how they sounded. Their souls were on fire for Christ. They devoted all of themselves to God at that time and place, and it was beautiful. With open hearts and minds, they worshiped Him. I am forever inspired by the faith of children. As God calls me to do various things throughout life, I strive to achieve the faith of a child. Fully trusting in Him like they do, I have no fear. I know that He loves me. He will provide me with the strength I need to do His work. Every time I run back to Him, He welcomes me with open arms. I live for Him.
