What Does It Mean?

I was reading yesterday in Mark 12:30. I started to ask myself the question what does it truly mean to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all you strength. I have seen many people who claim to love the Lord, but where is the devotion to do what Christ has called us to do? (Matthew 28:19-20) To many times I think that we give lip service to God and do not truly love Him the way He deserves. When is the last time you went out of your way to tell someone about Christ and you did not care about what people thought or said about you? When was the last time that you put your arms around the unloved or gave the last few dollars you had in your wallet to the needy? When was the last time that you gave everything you had to a ministry to see the kingdom of God go forward? When was the last time you went to church praying, "God what can I give You today?" Paul said it best, "We are not our own, we are bought at a price." Where is your love for the Father at?

ARE YOU USED?

HAVE YOU EVER FELT USED? I MEAN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU ARE TIRED AND JUST DON"T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING ANYMORE? DO YOU FEEL WORN OUT? BEAT UP? BUT YET WHEN YOU LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN OUT AT NIGHT, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING GREAT? IF NOT, THEN WHY DON'T YOU? YOU SEE, I THINK THAT IS THE WAY GOD WANTS US TO FEEL, LIKE WE HAVE BEEN USED BY GOD FOR THE KINGDOM THAT DAY. GOD WANTS US TO GIVE HIM OUR VERY BEST FOR THAT PARTICULAR DAY. I MUST BE HONEST, I LOVE FEELING LIKE I HAVE BEEN USED BY GOD. THERE IS NO GREATER FEELING IN THE WORLD. I HOPE FROM THIS EASTER ON YOUR PRAYER IS TO BE USED BY GOD.
