Strive: seek, desire, search for, require, demand; make great effort to achieve
What have been times in your life when you have strived for something?
What have you put your full heart, mind, body and soul into?
What has been a goal or purpose that you have been so passionate about that you could do nothing else but work towards it?
Strive first for the kingdom of God
Often those things that hold our attention so very much is because that mean so much to us, we love them so much that we can do no other.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son
God is so passionately in love with us that he strove to reveal that love to us by sending his Son and through the cross, we find the fullness of that love
Think about the word "strive" as it applies not to our own efforts, but how God seeks to reveal God's love to all
