I’ve been gripped. I’ve been empowered. I just hope I can see this through…..
I was doing my devotions last night when something stuck out to me, something tugged at my heart, as I read the words “love you with my life”. A question came up from my heart to my head, “Do I love God with my LIFE?”
He wants me. 100%. A man cannot serve to masters. Money or God. Pride or God. The World or God. Me or God. I have to pick one. There’s no fame AND God. There’s no loving myself AND God. It’s just me OR him. It’s all or nothing.
God, I no longer want just to LOVE you. I want to be IN LOVE with you. Period. You and you alone. I want to have no one else before you. No other Gods before you. No one, not even me.
This reminds me of the song by Relient K, “Getting Into You”. And the line “…I wanna love you with my life.” Taken straight from the Bible. I love when I find worship songs or songs I know in there. It’s part of the Bible I can sing!
And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
-Deuteronomy 10:12-13
