Day 4 - Love God with all your soul

Nephesh, makes sense doesn't it?
Nephesh, the Hebrew word for 'to breathe'
Sometimes when we feel tired or exhausted on the inside, it helps
to just sit back and breathe don't it?

And so sometimes i do feel, that i'm sitting inside a container.
My body is a container, a host. And sitting somewhere inside, is me. And while I'm here on earth, i function, eat, breathe and all in this container. Am i a soul, living in a body?

And from what i gather, my soul is essentially, the core of me, the core of my being. It is my personality, my thoughts, my being. It is the central point of me.

And so what does it mean for me to love God with all my soul. To love God all the way to the core of me? Right deep down, all the way to the soul, and from there, right down to the core, into that crevasse where you yourself don't often visit. And even when you do, you don't stay long.


And one day, in an unscheduled stop down there, you see yourself, the person you are, it isnt the physical body you are, but your thoughts, your personality, your passions and your dreams. It feels like a collective group of something, if you can even follow me anymore at this point, in the air.

And with that collective group of something in the air, deep down in that crevasse, you find God, and you love Him, with this crazy, unadorned, powerful, impossible passion that yet feels so calming and right. And you find that everything is alright.

Loving God with all my soul am I?
