To the young lady who came forward in church this Sunday: You inspired me to send this song out with a little message about the love in your heart for Jesus, and wanting to know if you were truly a follower. I thank God for our conversation.
The pictures in the beginning of this video says a lot. Are we willing to give up, “things” so when we say the words, “you can have me” do we really mean them?
As my pastor has been teaching; are we fans, or followers?
The one command most important Jesus, said to “Love.” 2 Peter 1:7-9 - John 15:13. Apart from Jesus, this is impossible. To love and pray for those who hurt you, to love and pray for that co-worker that makes you so angry, to love and pray for that spouse who blames you for everything and loves you only if the conditions are right, to forgive that mom or dad who didn’t love you as they should, to look at this case that takes up most of daytime TV (Casey Anthony), and really pray for her (and her family). Oh, to be humbled and pray...
What I want is the promise that comes with all this... and it starts with me. A fan or a follower?
God said, “my people.” 2 Chronicles 7:14. If my people who are called by My name, humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SINS AND HEAL THEIR LAND. I want what Jesus wants, the lost to be saved, the hurting to be healed and find peace.
Are we really His? Or only when we want to be, or only when the conditions are comfortable? I want His love to MOVE me. None of this is possible apart from Jesus.
Much Love
Kim
