I have made many successful repairs over a lifetime by learning how to fix things by taking them apart. Unfortunately, there have been times when I could not put together what I had previously dismantled. Thankfully, God needs no practice and what He takes apart He can make even better than before. The Bible puts it quite clearly: “LOVE NEVER FAILS”! I don’t know why I sometimes struggle to trust in His unfailing love. Everything He creates is created IN His amazing love and everything He redeems is redeemed BY His amazing love. Unlike the earthly brand of affection His love simply “never fails”. Never fails! Lover of My Soul, You are perfect in all Your ways. What You remove must go and what You provide is the very best. Blessed be Your Name.
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.
