Ephesians 6:24 (NIV)
24 Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an
undying love.
Certain relationships in life require from the parties
involved only moderate degrees of devotion. A certain degree of reserve and
distance seems to be suitable in such relations as these. But there are other
relationships in life where all this is changed when friendship becomes love.
Two hearts give themselves to each other to be no longer two, but one. Instead
of being separated, their interest and paths are now together. The reserve and
the distance suitable to mere friendships is fatal in real love.
Love gives all
and must have all in return. The wishes of the other party become binding
obligations; and the deepest desire of each heart is to know every secret wish
and longing of the other, in order that it may do all in its power to gratify
those desires. Is that the kind of love, affection, and obedience you have for
Christ?
Thought for today:
Do I give my all to God?
