We started our 13th year of homeschooling this week. One of the books my daughter and I are doing this year is called "Noble Girlhood Becoming a Daughter of Victory & Virtue". Today we read about Loving God. As we read this chapter I thought of years past. We had been so busy in the ministry, so caught up in being a 'cookie cutter' Christian. Now after so many loveless years we are finally experiencing true Christian love. Love for the brethren and love for God.
Here is a passage from today's reading: " Are you resting, content in loving Him today? Not just serving, fearing Him, or obeying Him, but in loving Him. For by focusing on the greater, the lesser will follow naturally as fruit of a right relationship...Loving the Lord must be our primary goal as Mark 12:30 exhorts. This is the greatest commandment and the one from which everything must stem...If you are struggling, ask Him to deepen your love for Him. As your love deepens, so the joy in your dedication will multiply."
"I must offer a word of warning to believers. Often the work of the Lord itself may tempt us away from communion with Him. A full schedule of preaching, counseling, and travel can erode the strength of the mightiest servant of the Lord. Public prayer will never make up for the closet communion."
