Previous Daily Devotional About
being obedient in Christ’s love… 1 John 5:3 This is love for God: to obey
his commands. And his commands are not burdensome (NIV) Love for God must have an external result. The external result of love for God is obedience. If we truly love God with all our heart, mind, and soul, we always do what God wants us to do. If we love God with all our heart, mind, and soul, we always act in ways God wants us to act. If we love God with all our heart, mind, and soul, we pray as He wants us to pray and we conform all of our heart, mind, and soul into a form God wants. Of course, there is a cost for doing God’s will by obeying His commands. However, the cost of being godly is nothing compared to the cost of being ungodly. When we fall down and we love God we must remember God is there to pick us up. When we fall short, God is there to forgive us and help us. When we do what we know we should not do and we make a mistake, God is always with us to help us do better the next time. In all our days, in our good times and bad times, if we truly love God, His strength and power sustain us. Someday, when our journey is over, our weaknesses melt away in His glory and grace. Then, on the day of our glorious meeting with Him, He shall tell us “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
