Forward In Love - Wednesday, January 23

“Does God really love me?” That question has been answered again and again through the scriptures shared in this devotional. Though one critical question remains… “Do you love God?” I mean really LOVE God? Do you?
Do your thoughts drift to Him in unguarded moments? Do you long for more moments alone with Him? Are there times when your impulses lead you one direction, but your simple love for God restrains you and just won’t let you go that way?
Do you love God before anyone else, more than anyone else? Have you scrapped the sides of your soul and allowed the Holy Spirit to inspect your heart like a magnified mirror to stare directly at your heart? What price would you pay to get closer to God? What would you give up to be more like Him? How much are you willing to lose for His sake? If your relationship with God cost you your friends, family, future, where would you bail out?
We have spent so much time, consciously, subconsciously, in conversations, in our thoughts and in attitudes and actions, asking the question, “Does God really love me?”. But, have we neglected the most important question in the world, “Do I really love God?”
Pray with me, “Lord today we pray, take us higher, deeper, farther. Help us to increase our love for you.”
