We have been talking about love in our church. Not head love, the love that comes
expectations and strings attached.
Instead, heart love, the love that loves those even when it doesn’t make
sense. The love that loves others who
have hurt us. The love that loves others
who can not or will not love us in return.
Our prayer focus this week is To
open my heart to God as never before.
How do we open our hearts to God? One way to do this is to obey Holy
Spirit. Is there an area of life which
you are currently living in rebellion to God?
Take a few minutes and God to reveal what might be in your heart that is
“blocking” the opening. Is it pride,
unforgiveness, lust, anger, insecurity, anxiety? Truly identify what exactly
needs to be removed to allow your heart to be open to God. Although this might
be a painful process, God already knows what the blockage is and He is ready to
remove it!
Consider this – if we
discover we have a blocked artery, what do we do about it? Do we ignore it, continuing to do what we
have been doing? Hopefully not! Once the
doctor had identified the problem, we may undergo a medical procedure to
“clear” the blockage, then we may need to take medicine and/or change our diet
so our arteries remain open.
Today, God wants to be your physician. He wants to clear your “arteries” to open
your heart to Him as never before. Are
you willing to undergo the necessary “surgery”?
Father, I ask you today to reveal to me the areas I am not
living in obedience to Holy Spirit.
Please help me to remove these areas from my life so that you can show
yourself to me in a more powerful way than ever before. I ask this is the precious name of Jesus,
amen!
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who love me will be loved by my
Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.
John 14:21
