I kneel in prayer to the Father. All beings in heaven and on earth receive their life from him. God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers and that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. Stand firm and be deeply rooted in his love. I pray that you and all God's people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ's love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.
Ephesians 3:14-19
God wants you to know all about Christ's love! The love of Christ is seen by what you give, not by what you get!
I believe, the love of Christ is so great that He would have gone to the Cross, even if He knew that no one would accept His sacrifice!
Humans sometimes speak of "falling in love." Falling is an accident, but loving someone is no accident. Real love is a purposeful choice. Choosing to love someone is all about them, not about you! Jesus paid the full price for the sins of every person ever born as it says in 1 John 2:2. But, of course Jesus knew that all men would not accept Him!
Loving Jesus is not about what you can get from Him, but it is about what you can give to the Lord! Jesus doesn't need you money or your land. He owns it all anyway! The only thing you have that Jesus desires to have and won't take by force, is your heart! The real definition of "Free Will" is the ability of man to give his heart to Jesus! That is "the way" you can bless Jesus today!
Don't worry about understanding "theology" and having a perfect view of all the things of God. Concern yourself with giving more of your heart to Jesus! Whatever there is in your heart that you are withholding from Jesus, let go of it today and lay it at the feet of the Lord!
"But what do I get for loving Jesus?" The answer to that question is simple. If you spend all your time focusing on Jesus, His blessings will come in many ways! But if you spend your time focusing on the blessings, your love for Him will fade and so will the joys of loving Him!
"Lord Jesus, thank You forever for loving me, but most of all thank You for letting me love You! Show me some new way today that I can express my love for You! May Your Holy and Righteous Name be praised now and forever! Amen."
