Lord, we like to take it easy. We like to have a comfortable life. we
don't want to be too committed. We've become half-hearted. Where does
this apathy come from? Does it come from You? Are You not calling us to
be whole-hearted? Lord, lift us out of a life pf paying lip-service to
You and into a life of being changed by Your love and Your power.
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!
