Filling the Blanks:

To love God means to set our ( ) being -- spirit, soul, and body, with the heart, soul, mind, and ( ) (Mark 12:30) -- absolutely on Him, that is, to let our entire being be ( ) by Him and lost in Him, so that He becomes ( ) to us and we are one with Him practically in our daily life. In this way we have the closest and most intimate ( ) with God, and we are able to enter into His heart and apprehend all its ( ) (Psa. 73:25; 25:14). Thus, we not only realize but also ( ), enjoy, and fully participate in these deep and hidden things of God. (See 1 Cor 2:9 note 3)
