Revelation 2:4
--TheSecretPlace--
Today I was reading Revelation, and I was pray reading through it, and as I was in chapter 2, I was praying, and this verse is one that I have heard a lot, and I love it, but today God just showed me more about it, and really made another side of it come alive to me that I haven't really given much thought to.
So #1- Loving God is the greatest thing we can do, and there is so much grace for us when we fail to let loving Him be the first priority-the #1 focus- in our lives.
I know that on my own journey with the LORD, for me to love Him with all of my heart, and all of my mind, and all of my soul , and all of my strength, has been the hardest thing I have ever done. When I set my face on loving Him, more and more attacks from the enemy come my way, BUT I have had more strength to overcome him by loving God, and receiving the LOVE OF GOD than ever before. His love fills me, when I love Him---BECAUSE--- It takes God to love God, we need God's help to love God Himself, and the great thing is--- He loves to help us LOVE! Praise God.
***When loving God is the number 1 focus in our lives, our days, and how we speak to others, and about others, are filled with LOVE***
#2-When it comes to loving God, loving Him second is loving Him last.
ouch.... That applies in every circumstance in life, and I am guilty of this, it comes in many different ways. It is like when you have a few hours to do something and you haven't spent time with God, and you know you should say no to whatever is fighting for your attention, and sit before God, but you choose to do other things..... God doesn't condemn you for not spending time with Him, because He wants you to come to Him because you want to come to Him, but that is not putting your time with Him first in your life. I am guilty of this, and so is everyone else who is walking with God. Christianity is not about a bunch of strong people, we are just weak beings trying to love a BIG STRONG GOD who is so in love with us!
It is a weak lifestyle, but it is absolutely the best, most life-giving lifestyle ever.
I cannot even begin to comprehend how great life in God is.
My challenge for you, and for myself is simply to do all we can to keep God first in our lives. I do not think anything blesses Him more, because we are all He wants.... What a great thought.
---Intercession---
Father, please help us to let loving you be the first priority in our lives. We love you, and ask that You would pour Yourself out on us tonight, and even now. We love you in Jesus' Name. Amen
I just want to encourage you in the LORD, and let you know that you really are loved, I want to encourage you to not walk around ashamed or embarrassed, because you have the King of glory walking with you. Be blessed!
