Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your mind and with all your strength.
Mark 12:30
Do you truly love your Savior and LORD? As children of Almighty God, of course our
answer would be yes. But, what evidence
other than our yes is there to give identifying evidence that we love our
LORD? How do we identify our true love
for our Savior and LORD? We need to
recognize that our ability to love God and to love others come from Him and Him
alone. Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and
knows God – 1 John 4:7. God is the
source of love. The indwelling Holy
Spirit gives us the power to love.
Prayerfully ask God to help you to love Him more and more and to help
you love others.
A person who truly loves God will have thoughts of Him. Do thoughts of your Savior and LORD circulate
through your mind often? Psalm 63:6 – On my bed I remember you; I
think of you through the watches of the night.
Our love for God will draw us to spend time with Him. Are you often drawn to spend time with God by
reading His Word and by spending time in prayer? Psalm
27:4 reveals to us that David’s greatest desire was to live in God’s
presence each and every day of his life.
Can you say that you desire to live in the presence of Almighty God each
and every day of your life? One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do
I ask, all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek
him in his temple.
Prayerfully examine your heart and your life. Does your life demonstrate a love for
God? If we truly love our Savior and
LORD, our lives will demonstrate our love for God. God demonstrated His love for us by sending
His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us.
Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates
his own love for us in this: While we
were sinners, Christ died for us. We
demonstrate our love for our LORD when we live a life that honors and glorifies
Him. Live
a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in
the knowledge of God – Colossians 1:10
Do you find satisfaction in spending time with God? Do you enjoy spending time in the presence of
your Savior and LORD? Evidence of our
true love for our LORD is seen in our enjoyment of the time we spend
together. Remember, Almighty God is the
source of love. Prayerfully ask Him to
place in your heart a desire to spend time in His presence and to provide you
the joy that only spending time together can bring. Psalm
16:11 – You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in
your presence, with eternal presence at your right hand.
We show our love for our Savior and LORD by obeying Him. Love is more than words. It is total surrender and commitment to our
LORD. We demonstrate our love for Christ
by being obedient to Him and His Word. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is
the one who loves me. The one who loves
me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to him
– John 14:21
Prayerfully ask God to help you to love Him.
Dear Heavenly Father, we recognize You are the source of love. Place in our hearts a love for You like no
other. Draw us to Yourself and Your
Word. Help us to live a life that truly
loves You and truly loves others. Place
in our hearts joy and satisfaction when we spend time in Your presence. In Jesus Name I Pray…..Amen.
