Amen. This is the sweetest, purest prayer your heart can pray. It is the fulfillment of the greatest commandment—not just to serve Him, not just to obey Him, but simply to love Him. And it is the cry of a heart that has realized that He is the treasure above all treasures.
“We love [Him], because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19 (AMP)
