“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:” Deuteronomy 30:19-20a KJV
“He is thy life” resonated within me this morning as I read the above verses!
Oh, so true, if you love Him with your whole heart!
New mothers and fathers are always amazed at the love they have for their newborn! They post all over Facebook their undying love! You see memes saying I love my son/daughter with my “whole” heart!
The devil knows how that wounds the heart of The Father, for He must be above all! But how many churchgoers can say that “He” is my life?
If He is not your everything; He is nothing.
That does not mean you don’t love anyone else, it means you love Him above all else! Actually loving Him enables you to love others better, for He reciprocates by pouring His love into you! Then you are able to love with His love; the only way you can love the unlovable!
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 KJV
His is perfect love! When we love like Him, we have no fear! Carnal Love is full of fear; fear of rejection, fear of commitment; fear of failure.
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 KJV
His promise: “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6 KJV
His love is to die for!
He showed us how!
He died for us!
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1 John 4:10 KJV
Is He your life?
Examine your heart! Ask yourself how much you love Him?
If you do not love Him with your WHOLE heart then He is not your LORD! He cannot be something you love; He has to be your everything!
“And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.” Deuteronomy 30:6 KJV
Ask Him to circumcise your heart, so that you may love Him and live!
Father, please forgive me for loving anything/anyone in this world more than You! I repent for not loving You best! Thank You LORD for Your love! Please pour it out in me so that I may love like You do! In Jesus name I pray!
Even so - MARANATHA!
