How earnestly do you seek to find God in your daily living? If we claim to be Christians, followers of Christ, this is a curious question to ponder…do we follow him out of love or obligation?
Like the wise man who went on a long journey to find the one who was born king of the Jews, do we seek diligently to know God and to strive for relationship?
The decision to put God and his will first in our life, must override all our other decisions. God is a jealous one as he can never take second place. Our hearts must be given fully to the one who loved us first. This is the proper order from which all goodness flows. United with grace we have confidence that we are loved and we cannot be shaken. It is the effectual love of God that first changes our hearts in order to make us capable of love, and it is His example we can love. Glory be to God!
1 John 4:19 tells us, “we love because he first loved us.”
