God wants us to love Him with all that we are. Loving Him with our soul is loving Him with our mind, will and emotions. All of our faculties are wrapped up in loving Him.
Let’s talk about the mind.
WorldChangers love God with their minds. They have had a transformation in the way they think. They have quit wasting their time occupying their minds with the distractions of the world.
In fact, most of the things that the people of the world spend their thoughts on are boring to WorldChangers. They are too smart to let their brains be playgrounds for sin.
WorldChangers are mesmerized by God Himself. They are trying to cram as much God into their brains as is humanly possible without exploding. They think about how to get what they have into other people.
WorldChangers think, create strategies, and plan exploits for how they can change the world. They know it really is possible to reach the world, so they think through plans to get the job done.
What they have is better than any Indiana Jones adventure flick because what they have is real. They are on an adventure for God, and they have joined Him in coming up with a strategy for an invasion of His love.
God needs our hearts and our minds if we are really going to change this world, and WorldChangers know it.
