Love
and hatred are similar in one way; they both have no limits. While we have each
felt at least a little bit of the all-consuming power of hatred, we have almost
no experience with unlimited love. This is why we struggle with the amazing
love of God. Can He really love without limits? The Bible states it clearly:
“God is love.” Since He doesn’t “have” love, but rather, “is” love, to limit
His love would be to deny who He is. Lord God Almighty, I want to understand
the depths of Your love and offer it freely to others. Teach me to receive and
give of Your boundless, immeasurable, inexhaustible love.
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.
