German term
in meiner ganze Liebe und dem Einsatz meiner Tätigkeit
German to English
Other
Religion
Bin immer auf alle zugegangen, habe mich in meiner ganze Liebe und dem Einsatz meiner Tätigkeit die ich in den letzten Jahren geleistet habe immer aufs Neue an Sie und die Mitglieder Gewand.
How can I fit in "in meiner ganze Liebe" hier without it sounding corny in English? "dem Einsatz meiner Tätigkeit" doesn't quite make sense to me either. This is a from the written defence of a member of a religious foundation which is to be presented to the members of some kind of committee. Up until now I have: "I have always approached everyone, and have repeatedly turned to you and the members...."
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

*afresh* or *anew* instead of \"again and again\", of course :-)
