Devo:Freedom and Passion
To love something or someone passionately sometimes comes easily, at least for a while, maintaining that passion takes deliberate action...a choice to remain devoted regardless of circumstance. If the thing that holds our passion is anything other than Jesus Christ, it may even put up a fight when our hearts realize the idolatry we've been sweeping under the rug (I know from experience).
Jesus said, “The first in importance is, ‘Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.’ And here is the second: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment that ranks with these.”
Our precious Lord lays it out real simple for us and I'm thankful because being a work at home mommy and trying to figure out how to not fail at life, I really appreciate clear direction when it comes to living the way I was created to.
Here's to letting go of anything that is putting up a fight to hold our attention more than the one who created everything and yet gives us the choice to choose him. Not because we have to but because to be in love with a Holy God is a beautiful, all consuming, completely fulfilling, adventure that doesn't end when we leave this earth!
Devo:Freedom and Peace
The word speaks for itself! I'm still inspired and meditative about running after peace through the power of the Spirit and the action of praise to my God!
