This is the 1st day
of February… a short month (28 days) with so much packed into it! Ground Hogs
Day… Super Bowl… Fat Tuesday… Presidents Day… Valentines Day! I personally like to think of February as the
month of love! I have many sweet
memories from my childhood from the month of February and Valentines Day in
particular.
So this is what God has laid
on my heart… I am going to share a few things over the next month regarding, “From
the Heart.” I am using it as a challenge
to myself and maybe in the process it will challenge some of you as well.
“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your
mind, and with all your strength. This is
the first commandment.” Matthew 12:30
To love like that it takes
your “ALL”… there are very few things in my life I give my all to. What kind of
passion does that take to give your all?
I tend to be a “middle of the road” kind of gal in so many ways, but the
things that really mean the most to me… the things I have great passion for…
you better watch out because I can be like a run-away train!
God has put passion in each
of our hearts for different things, but one thing that He has given all of us the
same passion for is to love Him. What is
your heart attitude? We can never repay
God for what He did by sending His Son as a sacrifice for our sin… and He doesn’t
want repayment… it is a free gift (Romans 6:23). But how can we show our love for Him?
Obedience… doing the
will of God from the heart (Ephesians 6:6). Serving Him by serving others!? Where are you serving... is there a place in your church that needs you? Is there a place that you need to be serving? You say you don't know where to start or what you might like to do??? You will never figure it out by doing nothing?!!! Walk it out... start now!
"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and
given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance." Ephesians 5:2
That’s
it... from my heart to yours!
Rejoicing in Truth!
