'Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.'
Faithful Jews have prayed those words morning and evening for thousands of years. It's called the Shema.
Heart, soul, and might — that's total coverage. Affections, identity, energy. Not just Sunday morning. Not just the religious slice. All of it.
And the command is love. Not fear, not duty, not performance. The God who made you wants to be loved by you. That's the whole assignment.
