Day 21 – January 21, 2018
God wants me to love and everything within me is screaming, NO!!! I don’t want to do it! I don’t want to admit it, but God not only loves us incredibly so, but He Is LOVE.
When He said to me to love, it was not a suggestion, comment or a question. It is His commandment to me. I don’t want to admit it, but He is not asking my permission, but demanding my obedience.
“Father, why can’t I love others from afar? I can pray for and give and help when needed. Why do I have to engage into their lives and on a regular basis? This is so uncomfortable for me.”
“Yes, I know it is. I have hidden many things in love. If you do not obey, you will remain in bondage and never walk in total freedom–the freedom I placed in my Son. Every victory in your life is hemmed in my Love. I gave everything so you would find all you need, in Him. Remember, I gave everything to you for love’s sake. You must follow my lead.”
In a moment’s time, my insides began to heat up. I am very warm. I reach for my fan and turn it on. The heat continues to burn within. I am now sweating, so I keep the fan on. In silence, I hear only the humming of the fan.
I get a quick glimpse of the compassion I lost, the simple task of just sitting with a friend, without saying a word, because no words are necessary, only my presence. I am sad, because now I realize the negative impact I left behind because of my lack of love.
Daily Reflections: Forgive me for my selfishness. Yes, I will obey and love….
