The document discusses focusing one's attention, affection, and abilities on God. It encourages establishing daily time with God through simply being with and talking to Him. While relationships with God can be distracted by self-centered nature and culture, one can express gratitude and affection to God in many ways. The document advises working as if for God rather than people and involving God in every area of life by having Him as the new boss over one's time, energy, and money. The conclusion is that whatever one thinks about most is what is truly loved the most.
