Loving God and others is a precious gift. To love God with your complete being calls for the ultimate in reaching out beyond yourself. Listen to these words from 1 Corinthians 13: "Love does not seek its own good, but always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” Loving others is imperative for your own well-being.
God's love satisfies the soul like nothing else can do, but it's your responsibility to surrender yourself to him. Loving God with your complete being keeps the soul from contamination, which would build a bridge to alienation and separation. God redeems the soul from the power of sin and death.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 describes what happens as you surrender your complete being to Christ. "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, your soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Because God is faithful, he will do it.

You know that with all our heart and soul that not one
single promise which the Lord your God has given you has ever failed to come
true. Every single word has come true.
~Joshua 23:14 God’s Word Translation
Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from
him.
