The past few weeks has provided
opportunities to be with people I don’t see often but for whom I have deep
love. Relationships that lead to genuine love often seem to come from nowhere. I
don’t really choose who I will love, it seems almost unstoppable. I can only
conclude that we are divinely wired for it. God is love. Mankind was made in
the image of God, therefore we long to love and to be loved. That our soul longs
for deep love proclaims the reality of our longing for God. Father, Mighty Creator
of Love, help me be faithful in love for You and 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.
