OK, a little break from our time in the "repentance corner." I would like to shift gears and briefly share some of the things that God has been showing me in His Word.
2 John 1:6 - "this is love, that we walk according to His commandments."
It is easy for us to claim to love God. But the proof of that love is in our actions - not just obeying out of fear, but as the natural overflow of our love for God. We can too often come to God just for His benefits rather than seeking Him and Him alone. Seeking His benefits will not result in a love that overflows naturally into obedience.
Do you find yourself obeying God without having to think about it? Is it just a natural overflow of your love for Him?
