Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 8:3 NLT Tyndale: But the person who loves God is the one God knows and cares for.
We have the capacity to love or be “in love” don’t we?
Just as in our fleshly relationships loving is good but being in love fills us with the spirit of love. When two people are in love there is a passion and all consuming desire to be with that person. It is no different with our love relationship with the Father. As we spend time with Him and fall in love with Him the sparks fly.
This scripture begins with “but” because Paul is reminding us that the knowledge and understanding we try to make sense of God will always let us down. 8:2 states “Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much.” When all our answers are stripped away and our beliefs shaken it is love that endures. Love endures but being in love with God brings everything to life.
Are you in love with God?
Today’s Prayer: Dear God, I love you. Thank you for stripping away all that I thought I knew and for taking away all else I have found security in. You are all I have and all I can count on. Thank You for loving me and caring for me. Thank You for showing Yourself faithful over and over. I know very little but I know You love me and I love You. Thank You for the comfort, the hope and the passion in Your love. Amen
