“My Jesus” Devotional
“And I’m lost in Your love and Your mercy. Lord Your beauty is so overwhelming. I’m thankful for Your truth. I’m so in love with You, my Jesus.”
Recently, I had one of those spiritual epiphanies and everything became clear in one moment. I was praying and suddenly my eyes were opened to something. I realized that I had complicated things. I’d turned my relationship with God into process…a formula. I knew God loved me, but for some reason I couldn’t get free from the bondage of “productivity”. I don’t think I’m the only one who has struggled with this.
Don’t get me wrong – we’re supposed to be responsible and get things done in life, but that’s not what I’m talking about. We’ve brought this “productivity” thing into our relationship with God and we’ve completely missed the point of the Gospel.
We were created for one simple purpose, and that’s to be intimate with God. To know Him and walk alongside Him with love is the highest calling, the ONLY calling. Everything else flows from this. Do you want to win this world to Jesus? Do you want to see your family situation turn around? How about those bills that are stacking up? The solution to the world’s problems and the answer to our needs will only come if you’re intimate with God. Show me someone that’s giving everything in pursuit of the face of God, and I’ll show you a world-changer. Show me someone that’s consumed with just “getting things done” for God, and I’ll show you a frustrated & unfulfilled person.
This song is an invitation to make things simple again and, to make your greatest goal in life to simply fall more in love with Jesus. Really get lost in Him. Here’s a project for you. Take some time today (and every day for the rest of your life) to just sit and let God love you. Then let that love fill every moment of your day, even the ordinary places. It will change your life. If we get this, we’ll be in the perfect position to change the world around us!
