Examples of Wholeheartedness

` Josiah

2 Kings 23:25
Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned  to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.

` Paul

Philippians 3:8
What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing  Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ

` Jesus

Matthew 3:17
And a voice from heaven  said, “This is my Son,  whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Thoughts 

. Believe in the Lord, and He will do half the work–the last half. - Cyrus Curtis

. God is our true Friend, who always gives us the counsel and comfort we need.  Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us.  We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence.  It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul. - Francois Fenelon

Warning against back-sliding

1 John 2:1-2
My dear children,  I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate  with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.   He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,  and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 2:24-25
As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning  remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.    And this is what he promised us—eternal life.
