Revelation of the Spirit - #10 When You Live Whole Heartedly for God there is No Such Thing as Spiritual Boredom
I can't say I've actually had a revelation of this yet. But more what I've realized is that I'm not living whole heartedly for God. As you've probably all noticed I haven't done one revelation a day. As I am human I struggle. At this time in my walk I feel very alone, I feel very far from God. I remember in one of my past posts saying that when you struggle you're going back to the person you were before you were reborn in Christ. I feel as though I am hanging on to the Lord by a string. But I learned why I am spiritual bored so to say. Just a little bit of God cannot satisfy our souls. We need all of Him and without all of Him to satisy us we get bored.
I often find myself doing the minimum in devotions anymore. But the Lord does want the minimum of us He wants all of us. In 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 Pauls says,
"For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."
Christ died so that we may die of ourselves, and so that we may only live for him. Only living for him means living whole heartedly. As stated in 2 Corinthians 11 He requires pure and sincere devotion. God has promised us to one husband. And the best one I should add. He needs our full undivided unattention and affection.
This is really hard. There is so much that God ask us of us don't you think? Well yes He does because He paid the highest price for us. But God also says one thing will set all of these in place. God's first commandment.
Jesus said to him, " You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
Matthew 22: 37-40
Loving God with all our heart, mind, soul and body makes everything else fall into place. I guess what I'm trying to get across is try to get sometime in your day as busy as you are to spend time with God letting him know you love him with all your heart. As the writer of the Seven Longings states " People who love God whole heartedly are happier and more cooperative." So maybe make it first thing in the morning so He can help you cooperate with others. Whatever it maybe. Love God with all your heart. It's my prayer for each and everyone.
P.S.
I'm trying to figure out a good devotional life for myself and haven't found one that works yet. I was wondering if those who read could email me some suggestions or examples of what you do in your own devotion life so I can find something that works for my heart to commun with God. Thanks.
