Real Love!

Do you love God or do you love loving God?  I think that a lot of people would say that they love God, but I think a more truthful statement may be that they “love loving God.”  Many people think and say that they love God, but the reality is – they love the idea or concept of loving God.  We should love God and we should appreciate being loved by God, but if we really love God and appreciate being loved by God, then we will show it by the way that we live in relationship with Him!

Stop and take a few moment to think about who or what you are really loving.  Are you really loving God or loving the idea of loving God?  If you find yourself loving the idea of loving, then take a few moments to get yourself re-adjusted so that you can enjoy being loved by Him and so that you can begin to grow your love for Him.

You will know that you are getting this “love thing” right, when you find yourself looking and acting more like Jesus!  Just a little something to think about and hopefully in your thinking, a little something to help you grow your love in the right direction!

Do You Believe?

dsc_0173Do you believe in God?  Do you really believe in God?  Do you believe that He is Who He says He is and is capable of all of the things that we say He is capable of?  If we really believe in God, then we must see life in a radically different way than the person who does not believe, and this should change the living out of our lives in a big way!

There are a lot of people that say they believe, but very few really believe – believe in such a way that it changes them and their lives.  To really believe – means that you look at life differently and live life differently.  Our values are influenced and shaped by what we believe.

If we really believe in God, then our belief must make a difference in our lives and our lives should make a difference in this world.  Do you really believe?  Here are just a few thoughts to get your motor running today:

What can compare to our God or what can you compare our God to?  The answer:  NOTHING!  I mean, I can honestly come up with nothing that even comes close!  Our God is incomparable and just acknowledging this truth changes everything!

God is in the TRANSFORMATION business!  I love this time of year, because we are watching things that were dead, come to life.  This is the business of God!  God takes people that were dead and makes them alive!  If you really believe, then stop walking around like a dead man!

God is VICTORIOUS!  And if you believe in Him and have a relationship with Him – you will be victorious!  Can you think of one battle that God has ever lost or will lose?  Take some time today to think about God.  Take some time to REALLY BELIEVE!  And let your real belief change your life!

P.S.  Just one more thing I want to remind you of:  God Believes In You!
