DaySpring Daily Word of Inspiration: Deut. 6:5 – Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Today’s scripture sums it all up in one sentence. It is the outline that sets everything into motion and allows for us to truly engage in a relationship with God that is at its purest form. God has already displayed his love for us over and over and over again. He has made the ultimate sacrifice for us. He continues to reach out to us so that we can be in a relationship with Him again. Then His love ultimately wants us to be together in heaven. What is it that you’re going to start giving to God to show you WANT to be in a relationship with him? What action will showcase your desire to give God your all? Have you decided to fill your heart with the same love, care, and consideration as God has for you? God has shown us an example of laying it all on the line and then backed it up.
We can all talk a good game; we can all say “Lord, Lord”; we can all put on a front while in the church. The reality is when it comes to really showing God you WANT to give him your all, it’s done by our actions. Ever heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words”? Well it is true. What if God only said He loved us but never showed it? God wants our faith to be seen through our action. He wants our love to be shown to him with every ounce of our spirit. When we do this our lives will be filled with something that can only be called devotion, dedication, and reverence for His will. If you’re devoted to a career or your family or a person, you know the ends of the world you’d go for them. Why not put that same energy and effort into loving God. The biggest difference between those relationships and your relationship with God is God will NEVER let you down or fail you! Today you have yet another opportunity to put all you have; your soul, strength & faith into Jesus. With the ball in your court, the question remains; what will you do with your strengths & efforts to show God you finally want a relationship with him too?
We pray that you’re moved to action and showing God that you want to grow deeper in a genuine love with him. We want to pray that your desires mix with God’s will for your life and set you into motion to face the design of your destiny. Be blessed today and may God’s hand move in your life to help you recognize how much you really need him. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
