Loving God!

“We love, because He first loved us.” I John 4:19

Sometimes you may feel that the word, ‘love,’ has really been overworked.

It is the easy, offhanded remark used to express a strong, though momentary, happiness about some thing or some experience. But there is no denying the potency of that word:

“But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” I Cor 13:13

But how do we express our love to and for God? If, indeed, to know Him is to love Him, then where is the adventure in that expanding relationship - which is potentially complete from its inception.

Honesty requires that we confess that we have not known God all that well - all that long.

Paul’s prayer for believers: “That you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work.” Col 1:9-10

Do you see the cyclical dynamic here?
Knowing God better. Walking worthy of Him. Pleasing Him. Knowing God better.

Getting to know God is to be found in His Word, fellowship with Him, meditation on Him and His word. Walking worthy of Him so you know and love Him better.

Today’s challenge: Love God more. Love God better. Write how you will do that today.
