To love God wholeheartedly, we must be convinced that our only happiness is in him alone. We cannot believe this until we renounce all other efforts at happiness. If we look to God to supply half our happiness, we can only love him with half our hearts.https://www.christianitytoday.com/pastors/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2025/12/ogimage.png?resize=1200,6281200628
