Dear Young Christian:
Here are some scriptures that should be the response of our hearts in light of yesterday’s meditation:
“Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might” (Deuteronomy 6:5).
“Love the Lord thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments” (Deuteronomy 30:16).
“I love the Lord” (Psalm 116:1).
In Christianity we have been given the ability and capacity to love the Lord. The more we are occupied with His love, the more we will love Him. We won’t be able to help ourselves. Don’t be discouraged with your lack of love or dullness of affection for Him. Rather be occupied with His unchanging, divine love for you, and you will unconsciously love Him more without even realizing it.
Start the week with a fresh sense of His love. And remember, “We love Him, because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
