Fuelled By Love

Let all that you do be done with love - 1 Corinthians 16:14

On Sunday night I attended a Jesus Culture worship night event and the preacher spoke about how some of us get stuck in this routine when serving God, we try to check all these boxes because it's what we "think" Christianity looks like. We would go to church, we read the bible for x amount of minutes or hours a day, and we just focus on the the "do," but don't realize that we should do it through Christ.

I volunteer every single week for the Church and even more so when certain events come up that need help in. It can get so easy to get stuck in this routine and feeling like I just HAVE to do this or else I'm not a "good" Christian. My heart was definitely convicted of this that night and God just ignited that fire and reminded me again of how much He loves me. I always know God loves me, I mean you hear it every single Sunday, but when God breathes on His word and breathes into you and you encounter His presence...I'm blown away. I know I'll never be the same.

God loves me so much. It's more than I can fathom and it's more than I can even comprehend. I don't know why He loves me as much as He does... I just know that He loves me. Suddenly... worship band practice on Friday nights don't become about routine or something I grudgingly "sacrifice" time for...It's because I just love Him. He loved me first...and I'm simply responding to His great love for me.

I focus too much on "omg what am I going to do?" and stress about the things I'm doing but I just need to breathe, take a step back and work with God and work things through Christ who gives me strength.

With this new revelation that the Lord has shown to me, I can feel a shift in the way I lead the rest of my life. God is going to accomplish and do what He said He will do, He just wants us to come along and work with Him.

God, I know that you have an amazing plan for me and You have this amazing plan to restore this lost  and broken world and restore your glory here on earth. I want to just work with you... be apart of what you're doing here on earth. I want to see your kingdom in heaven come down here on earth, and God I want to see Your glory. Thank you Lord for constantly moulding my heart and teaching me new things. Let all that I do be in love. Let the way I live, the way I speak and the way I treat others be in love. With the love that you first have shown to me. Help me to share Your love with everyone I enounter and change atmospheres by carrying Your presence with me wherever I go.  Thank You Lord for breathing life into my soul once again and igniting the fire in my Heart.
