Revelation of the Spirit - #21 I am Ruined by the Love of God
As I lay my heart of the altar I cannot help but feel his love. At OneThing I believe truely tasted the love of God for the first time. When I tasted that love I was ruined. My heart was no longer satisfied by the love of any other. No longer loving music, playing cornet, singing, loving family, friends or anything else truely fill the desire of my heart for love. One thing fills that space for love...that is the love of God.
Many churches today believe that they read scripture, spend time with the Lord, and do ministry out of their duty for God. "Oh he died so I guess the least I can do is read something once a week, do some outreach ministry and tell others about him." It becomes such a burden when looking at the Lord that way.
1 John 5:3
This is love for God: to obey his commands.And his commands are not burdensome.
His love was not meant as a burden for us to carry as he did the cross. His love was meant for us to enjoy and to truely live by having our hearts desires fulfilled through his love.
Once you experience God's love you are determined to live a life of holiness to experience that love again. To be pure and blameless and to live out his commands is what the Lord asks of us, but you have no idea it is all worth when you experience the love of God.
Song of Solomon 1:2
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-
for your love is more delightful than wine.
His love is better than wine. Better than the material things of this world.
Today I feel so lovesick for the Lord and I long to experience his love the way I experienced it at OneThing. But whether or not I experience it the same way I always feel it with me. Every part of my day I feel the love of God with me. For me it serves as a reminder that I need to be pure, blameless and holy so I can someday experience the love of God to it's fullest extent. My heart yearns for that day.
My prayer for you all is to have the Lord set before you, with the reminder of his love be your motivation to live a pure blameless and holy life.
In His Love..
Amen.
