I thought this scripture is appropriate since Valentine's Day is Saturday. We should show the Lord love 24/7. It should not be lip service. We should put the love we have for the Lord into action. You may ask, "How do you suppose I do that?"
Well....
1). You can start by communicating to God through prayer. It's pretty hard to make it through the day without talking to the one you love. God loves it when we talk to Him about every and anything.
2). Praise and worship - When you love someone, you try your best to encourage and praise that person for all their good works. God loves the sweet aroma of our praise and worship. When the praises go up, the blessings come down.
3). Read the Bible. When you love someone, you try study and learn as much as you can about them, whether it's their favorite color, favorite food, or etc. So, what better way to get to know God than to read His word. I would go on to say His autobiography.
This is just a few ways. Please understand that you can't give God 50%, 75% or even 99.9% of your love. It has to be all or nothing. It has to be 100%. Just as the scripture says, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." You have to love the Lord from the inside-out.
Lord, I pray that we learn to love you wholeheartedly with all our hearts, with all our souls, and with all our strengths. We want to do your will Lord. I pray that nothing or no one will try to separate your people from the love you have for us. On behalf of my sisters and brothers in Christ, I repent for the times we neglected you and for the times we didn't show you our love. I love you Lord and I thank you for your grace and mercy. In Jesus' precious name I pray....Amen.
Your Sister In Christ,
Toia

This was such a fantastic post sweetie.
Love it and I'm going to borrow it. I was/am journaling about my experience at work since I've been placed in charged and I have a section marked inspirational. This in going on today's date. I didn't know what to write about, so now I can cut and paste your prayer. It is my prayer as well, thanks for finding the words. I love the Lord and I talk w/him all the time and I'm working on meditating on his word more. I'm currently in Numbers.
Love you and have a Happy V. Day!
Awesome post! Happy WFW!

Beautiful post and wfw; It's so true...the best expression of praise to our Heavenly Father is doing what we can to get to really know Him.
Thank you so much for your comment!

Hi,
Thank you for sharing about our opportunities to draw closer to the Lord. He is so good to us. I want to be His 100%. The worldly life just isn't worth missing out on all Gad hs for us.
