I grew up knowing the facts about God, and one of those facts was that he wanted to possess my heart completely. That I would love the Lord, my God, with my all my heart, soul, mind . . . that all of me would love him the most (Deut. 6:5). But I couldn’t live it then. I was busy making most everyone in my life happy, and it was working for me—at least most of the time. I’m lying. It wasn’t working. I was completely wrecked inside. How does anyone ever make everyone happy? I waited for my parents’ answer.
