Love

Life without God is meaningless.

Over the last few months, I have been falling in love with Jesus. His love is the whole reason for our existence. Everything we do should bring glory and honor to Him.

I am reading a book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan (highly recommended!) that is inspiring, challenging, and convicting. In a real, straight-forward, and (most importantly) biblical way, he explains how our response should be to the One who gave us life. The One who sent His son to die on the cross for our sins that we may have life to the fullest. Faith IS love and action.

Chan writes, "Following Christ isn't something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are."

"Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." James 2:17

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Matthew 7:21

Being a Christian means whole-hearted commitment to serving and loving God first and following his commands, along with the willingness to give up everything in pursuit of a holy calling. God brings true peace, joy, purpose, hope, and satisfaction to those who seek Him with all their hearts.

I am nothing without the love of Christ. My prayer is to do the will of God...whatever the cost.
