Attend to Matters of the Heart

LOVING GOD

The Ten Commandments are God’s simple rules for well-being. Simple, yes, but not easy. Our flesh gets in the way of persuading us to give in to momentary pleasures or to point out that we will never measure up.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to please God with our actions, but we should never make impressing God more important than pressing into God.

Christ came to us to do what we could not – fulfill the law perfectly. He also left us the gift of the Holy Spirit, who equips us to do what our rule-following forefathers never could – live on good terms with God and rest in His love.

We went from ten rules chiseled in stone to God alive in us! We are not worthy of such a thing, which is why we clothe ourselves in humility.

We will always need more grace and love flowing in and out of our lives. When you are tempted to sin, look for grace and love. They flow in the opposite direction of the world, so their current can initially be hard to find.

Feel for the resistance. It’s there that the Kingdom of God is found within you.

Reflect:

What are the top three things you love most about God? What are three things that you think God loves most about you?
