Mediocre Christianity

I fear I’ve been living a life of mediocre Christianity. I have been saved and have believed in God and even have prayed almost daily. But as I would listen to some of the Christian music and some of the speakers on the radio, I realized I did not have the relationship with God that those people had. I began to realize that my love for Christ was lacking. My fear of Christ has always been pretty strong, being aware of God’s power and authority. I decided I wanted more than to just fear the Lord. I wanted to love Him. I wanted a deep love for Him like the Love I knew he had for me.

1 John 4:19 We love Him, because He first loved us.

I prayed for God to increase my love for Him. I prayed for passion and excitement for my Lord and Savior. The Lord answered my prayers. I rise in the morning rejoicing in the day He has made. I go throughout my morning routines giving Him praise. I can’t wait for Sundays to come around and I have given up television and replaced it with God’s Word or other literature that brings me back to God’s Word. I can’t stop sharing the truth of the gospel, nor do I want to. I pray about everything! God is working daily in my life and I am overwhelmed with excitement for Him.

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Why not pray for an increased love for your God? The more love you have for Him the more you seek His will, the more you seek, the more you find, the more you find, the more doors will open for you. It is much easier to discern God’s will when you are living for Him and loving Him wholeheartedly because your heart is shaping to be like His. Isn’t that what you want? If it isn’t, my friend in Christ, pray for it to be because that should be your desire.
