Devotion 4/14, Am I Living My Life For The Lord?
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39
Jesus was clear in what he said. Living for God can be boiled down to two principles:
Loving God with everything I am and have.
Loving others and treating them as I would like to be treated.
Those principles are certainly not too hard to understand. It’s the living of them that is our challenge. So, let’s not just understand these two principles of love; let’s live them out in our daily lives in what we do and how we do it, and what we say and how we say it!
Father, the one true and living God, please accept the work of my hands, the words of my mouth, the moments of my rest, and the love of my heart as my worship to you this day. I pray that these are pleasing and refreshing to you as I seek to live out your two love commands in my life today. In the name of your Son, the Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
