This week, we learnt about being fully dedicated to God:
~If we want to fully dedicate ourselves to God, we must love Him. If we love the Lord, we will dedicate ourselves to Him.
~God has given us everything we have, and he wants us to give our lives back to Him. (1 Cor 6:19-20)
~Our life goal is Colossians 1:10 - "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God."
~God wants us to live our lives wholly for Him, and base our thoughts and actions not on earthly things that will perish but on heavenly things that will last for eternity (Matthew 6:19-21)
~God will bless us if we commit ourselves to living for Him. (Matthew 6:33)
Here are some affirmations for loving the Lord.

May God bless all of you in your week as you do your schoolwork, housework and relate to people. Always remember to do everything for the Lord! Be strong in His mighty grace and power!
"Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
~2 Timothy 2:1-3~
