Last weeks devo on genuine love of Christ has got me running hard and fast towards God and His abundant grace. I can't explain the absolute joy mixed with so much regret as I hear God speak to me through this.
Revelation 2:4 "But I have this against you, you have left your first love".
"I am a synagogue of Satan more from my addiction to morality rather than my addiction to immorality. My addiction to morality insidiously numbs me to settle behind the veil of good, prudent choices. My historical record of prudence becomes a self made alter of good choices that sits outside the new Jerusalem in a place of death and cloaked shame. I offer Jesus my constrained passions to immorality and I feel like He says 'so what? What good is constrained immorality without passion surrendered to me, the author of passion and intimate communion?'. My morality actually interferes/retards my pursuit of Jesus. Please Jesus, more of you, less of me".
Good to see and meet all of you at Memorial Day retreat! Continued prayers that we can finish the blog strong and encourage one another through God's word. Excited for the summer and how God uses us all to bring others closer to Christ. Amen!
