A Life of Love.

--Meditation--

Philippians 1:9-11

Revelation 2:4

---From the Secret Place---

   When I think about these verses, I think about my relationship with the LORD. I am broken over this, the LORD is so in love with us... Just say that=>The LORD is so in love with ME!<=...... I mean this is no small thing, and I know I have talked about this, and wrote about this a lot, but the more I think about it the more I realize that I am no where close to showing Him the love I have for Him in any strong way, or whatever...... The FATHER longs to have a(for His) family, and the SON longs for His Bride. I feel in my life, like I could go farther, and I could know God better, but I have let myself talk me into the thought that I don't have what it takes, or it is unnecessary to go deeper in the ways God is calling me to go deeper..... But isn't that loving God on my own terms.---- Yes.

I am so guilty of that, but here is the deal. GOD SEES ME. He sees me in my struggle. He sees my little efforts, and He sees the sacrifices I make, whether they are big or small. The thing about all of this though, is that HE LOVES ME. HE SEES MY EFFORTS, and HE LOVES IT!

I have forgotten, it seems like, that I move His heart. He loves me. I don't even know what that means. What am I willing to give, and what am I willing to do to know what LOVE really, REALLY IS.

What am I willing to do to get more of Christ's love. I believe this calls for drastic measure. This means to turn my eyes away from WORTHLESS THINGS! How far am I willing to go???? What can I go without??? What will benefit my relationship with the LORD if I give up a few things??

What if so many people actually took a step closer to the LORD in their love relationship with Him. What if we took steps closer. Giving Him more of our time.

Will facebook matter in 20 years when it is forgotten about and there is all of the sudden a new web club thing?

Will all of the time wasted on the Internet, and on the TV matter in eternity??

What will matter is how we used our time. 

In eternity - What will matter is how we walk out our LOVE RELATIONSHIP with CHRIST!

How far am I willing to go. We as the Bride, and we, as the church need to pull ourselves together SO THAT we may lose ourselves in His gaze.

Wow..... You and I should read Psalm 27, and I will be posting again tomorrow.

----Intercession----

Jesus, please help us. Please please come and help us LORD to do your will. Please HELP US FATHER to cry out to You from the depths of our hearts. God, please come and reveal who You are to us. Jesus, we love You, and we need You. We need You to TRULY LOVE YOU. We want You! I pray LORD that You would raise up those who will voluntarily love you with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strngth. Jesus, I pray that as You call Your people to the wilderness, that we would responde. I pray that You would make known to us the things that grasp, and STEAL our gaze away from You. Make known to us LORD what is on Your mind. We love you!! We want to see you lifted HIGH! Your Name is above ALL NAMES!!!! Thank You for all that you do for us! In Your Name LORD Jesus. Amen.

Pray, and ask the LORD to help you spend your time wisely, and ask Him if there is anything He wants you to do to say no to the things of the world, just to show Him that you love Him.

Think of it this way. Does the Love of your life HAVE to bring you flowers?-No. They do that because they want to, and because they care.

For some of us, we could give up some things that don't really matter too much to just show Him that we love Him. To just show Him that we care. To show Him that we want more time with Him than we do on facebook, or myspace, or whatever. I am not saying any of this to convict you. I am throwing this before you, and it is your responsibility in the LORD to search out what I say to see how it is truth along with the WORD of God.

Jesus

is

LOVE

Be blessed!

Kasey.... Jesus loves me-and you!
