Love and hatred are similar in one way; they both have no limits.
While we have each felt at least a bit of the all-consuming power of hatred, we
have almost no experience with unlimited love. This is why we struggle so with
the amazing love of God. Could He really love without limits? He is love. To
limit His love would be to deny WHO HE IS. Lord God Almighty, I so want to
understand the depths of Your love and offer it freely to others.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
