Inspired by:
“I Really Love”
Norman Hutchins
Focus:
Loving God fully because He first loved us
Scripture References (NIV):
• Deuteronomy 6:5 — “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
• 1 John 4:19 — “We love because he first loved us.”
Devotion:
I Really Love reminds us that loving God is not a shallow expression. It is a deep, sincere commitment that flows from the heart and soul. When the song declares, “With all my heart, with all my soul,” it reflects the kind of love God desires from us—complete, undivided, and genuine. This love is not based on emotion alone. It is rooted in gratitude, reverence, and the awareness that God has been faithful, present, and patient in every season of our lives.
The song also reminds us that our love for God is a response to His love for us. “Because You first loved me” is more than a lyric. It is the foundation of our relationship with Him. God loved us before we knew Him. He pursued us before we sought Him. He covered us before we understood His grace. His love has carried us, forgiven us, restored us, and strengthened us. When we consider the depth of His love, our hearts naturally rise in devotion and surrender.
As you reflect today, let your love for God be wholehearted and sincere. Love Him with your thoughts, your decisions, your worship, and your lifestyle. Love Him because He has proven Himself faithful. Love Him because He has never failed you. Love Him because He first loved you with a perfect and everlasting love. From the depths of your soul, let your heart declare, “Lord, I really love You.”
Reflection:
1. What does loving God with all your heart and soul look like in your daily life
2. How has God’s love for you inspired a deeper love in return
Prayer:
Lord, I love You with all my heart and with all my soul. Thank You for loving me first and for showing me a love that is faithful, patient, and everlasting. Help me to express my love for You in every part of my life and to walk in devotion each day. Amen.
Action Steps:
1. Speak this aloud today: “Lord, I love You with all my heart and soul.”
2. Write down one way God’s love has drawn you closer to Him.
3. Share this devotion and the message of “I Really Love” with someone who needs encouragement.
Remember:
Your love for God is powerful because it is rooted in the love He showed you first.
