all or nothing

Samson was a man who was dedicated to God by his parents from the time of his birth but who did not dedicate himself to God. He was infatuated with women who often led him astray. He was a Jew who decided to marry someone outside of his own people against the wishes of his family. And during his marriage celebration he told a riddle and then got scammed by his wife who told the answer to the crowd so that Samson lost his cool. Anyways, she was killed later and Samson went to a prostitute, and then married a woman named Delilah.
Delilah was a piece of work! A crazy, manipulative woman. She was asked by the enemy to forsake her husband for some money. So she asked Samson how he could be overpowered… Samson fed her a line, she took it, and then she tested him. She tied him up after he had fallen asleep, and yelled, “The enemy is upon you!” Samson woke up a broke the ropes like they were nothing. She began to pout in order to find out the correct “kryptonite” for Samson’s power.
This same scene was played out three different times and Samson gave Delilah three different answers. After the third time she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have deceived me these three times and have not told me where your great strength is. It came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death. [17] So he told her all that was in his heart…”
I believe that this story is played out every day in our relationship with God. I feed God a line, and he test it, and finds out that I am not being truthful, until He finally asks, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me?”
God does not want our words, or our lines, nor does he want our actions. He wants our hearts. All of them! He wants every nook and cranny, the best of it and the worst of it, the brightest spots and the darkest corners. God wants all (every part) of us, and wants us to share all that is in our heart.
Have you dedicated yourself to God? Have you given all of yourself to Him?
