Here's the quote that got me...
God is saying to His people, “You are not in love with Me now, but I remember a time when you were.” He says, “I remember . . . the love of your betrothal . . .” (Jeremiah 2:2). Am I as filled to overflowing with love for Jesus Christ as I was in the beginning, when I went out of my way to prove my devotion to Him? Does He ever find me pondering the time when I cared only for Him? Is that where I am now, or have I chosen man’s wisdom over true love for Him? Am I so in love with Him that I take no thought for where He might lead me? Or am I watching to see how much respect I get as I measure how much service I should give Him?
Are you in love with him or not?
Was sitting with Jess eating breakfast and (as is our habit) we did this reading. And what overcame me in that moment is that I'm NOT overflowing....
Then I was cut by it, convicted. If I'm going to help lead people I need to quiet myself down, quiet my mind down and start to listen to what He's saying. Be more humble. Less proud of my accomplishments.
Really, respect Him more.
Thanks Oswald, again.
