Dear Friends and Partners,
We are truly grateful for your ongoing support. Your generosity and faithful partnership allow us to share the light of the Gospel, care for those in need, and bring hope to people facing difficult circumstances. You are a vital part of God’s work, and your commitment encourages us to keep moving forward with faith and dedication.
Many people want their unfavorable circumstances to change, but few are willing to change themselves. The Bible says: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23).
In other words, we need to pay attention to what fills our hearts, because it is in the heart that thoughts are born—thoughts that shape our choices and actions. That’s why it’s so important to understand what is happening in our minds, what we believe in, and what we place our hope on with all our heart.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). What did Jesus mean when He said we should love God not only with our soul, but also with our mind?
We all enjoy those moments in prayer when joy, tears, or deep emotions make us feel God’s presence. But our faith cannot be built only on feelings or emotions, because they change like the weather and can easily mislead us.
That’s why James 1:6–8 says: “The one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.”
Friends, let’s remember that feelings are not the foundation or the proof that God is working in our lives. Emotions are unstable, but God’s Word never changes. So how do we love God not only with our soul, but also with our mind?
Don’t think that loving God with your mind means dry logic. On the contrary, it’s a conscious decision to believe what the Bible says, even when our feelings are silent. Loving God with our mind doesn’t depend on moods or circumstances, but on our inner resolve to trust in the truth no matter what we’re going through.
When we love God with all our mind, we lean not on emotions, but on His promises. We filter our thoughts and refuse to let fear drown out our faith. By meditating on what the Bible teaches, we worship God and serve Him in our minds. In this way, we submit our thoughts to His truth and serve the Lord not only with our hearts and feelings, but also with our reason.
Perhaps right now you’re battling unforgiveness, disappointment, or a serious illness, and you don’t feel that God is near. It is in moments like these that it’s especially important not to lean on feelings, but on God’s Word. Remember what Job said? “I know that my Redeemer lives!” Notice, he didn’t say, “I feel that my Redeemer lives,” because at that point in his life he felt nothing but pain and despair. Yet in spite of that, he deliberately declared God’s truth, even when his feelings screamed the opposite.
So you too can proclaim Job’s words: “I know that my Redeemer lives! He will never forsake me and will help me through every difficult situation.” Remember, God’s Word is a word of faith. When we come to God in faith, standing on His Word, it delights Him. That’s why we should always pray with an open Bible and meditate on what the Scriptures teach.
Our faith should be like Abraham’s. He is not only the father of many nations but also the father of all who believe as he did. God promised that Sarah would give Abraham a son—but humanly speaking, that was nearly impossible.
So why didn’t Abraham’s faith grow weak? Because he refused to focus on the fact that he was 100 years old and his body was frail. He also didn’t dwell on Sarah’s old age and the impossibility of her bearing a child. Instead, Abraham worshiped God in his mind, submitting his thoughts to the Lord. He glorified God, thanked Him for the amazing promise, and in doing so, strengthened his faith.
Friends, if we change the way we think, we can change the course of our lives. Worship God in your mind, meditate on His Word, and don’t let your thoughts or imagination lead you into fear, resentment, or unbelief. When you focus on God’s promises, you are worshiping Him with your mind. That is what it means to love God with your mind—submitting your thoughts to His truth, not to emotions or feelings.
