“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep,” Romans 12:15 ESV. The Love of God has taken me to so many places that I would have never known without it. I’ve sat at the bedside of a multitude of precious souls as they slipped into eternity. I’ve held many newborns in their first few moments among us. I’ve been privileged to share deep agony and immense joy with so many of God’s people in so many places; rejoicing with those who rejoiced and weeping with those who wept. The Love of God is a precious gift; it is powerful and transforming to all who accept it and spread it. The more of God’s amazing love that is offered to others the more of it gathers in my own soul. What an amazing heavenly endowment! What a tremendous blessing to all who receive it and share it! LORD, use me this day as a vessel of Your 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.
