Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
That’s a lot of LOVE!
How many know that this doesn’t happen overnight? In fact, It doesn’t happen in a week or a month. It doesn’t even happen in a year. It takes time to learn such a love.
That’s right.
You see, when we give our life to Christ, we do it in faith. And from that day forward, we begin to take steps in developing such a love. It takes time.
So, we shouldn’t think there is something wrong with us if for some reason we are not there yet. We just need to keep moving towards it.
How?
By obeying. By listening and following. By saying, “no”, at times to things we may enjoy doing. By allowing ourselves to be corrected and chastened at times by the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 12:6 (NKJV) 6 For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”
These are steps toward receiving the life God has for us and developing the love for Him that he desires us to have.
Once we begin walking in this love, we will never want to go back to the way we once were.
