Love

Luke 10:27  You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength and all your mind.  And, Love your neighbor as yourself.  

I pray this would be my heart.  I always feel so inadequate in this area.  I'm too cranky, too self-centered, too impatient...  But my heart wants to love like God loves.  

On the way to church this morning I was praying for my heart to be filled with His love.  Praying to love God and others as I am meant to.  

And then....God visits.  On the radio came one of my favorite songs.  The Proof of Your Love.  I posted it on the blog if you want to give it a listen, it's a great song and something to really think about.  This song so speaks to what I want my life to be.  

The love theme continued when the verse in Romans that speaks of the sacrificial love of God came up during service:

But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.  Romans 5:8

I believe God is pleased with my desire to love, and is willing to answer this prayer of mine.  I believe that by sending all these confirmations, He was letting me know that I was on the right track and He is going to fulfill this yearning in my heart to be filled with His love. 

Lord, fill us with Your love.
