Tell Him How Much You Love Him Today

Let that be our only goal today, our highest priority! When you write a to do list put that as first. It is our only job, our only main attraction, goal, means, idea, it is the only thing that is worth accomplishing or getting done. He is my highest love, my only thoughts let it be of him, and if you don't love him to be your all, their probably parts of you heart that don't love him. And if your not fully given over to him, then your probably lukewarm, and he doesn't want you anyways. He sent people away, when they were "awe struck: by him. He could see into their hearts, he told the rich man to go and sell all his posessions, if he wanted to be his disciple. And the rich man walked away sad because he couldn't do it. It made Jesus sad too to send him away. Jesus loved him and wanted him, he loved his zeal, but Jesus didn't want people that just loved him at a whim. Or were attracted to him, and taken by the hype and excitement.He didn't want idolaters, and he didn't want to be their Idol. He wanted to be their husband, He wanted wifes, he wanted a church that was committed, submitted and that would remain fully his threw sickness and in health. Jesus is always moving and always wants us to ask for his purpose in all things, for his will in all accomplishing works of the spirit. I think in our society, us christians have gotten it all wrong. We have been doing what the world does, we tried conforming, attracting, advertising, we shyed away from showing JESUS in his fullness. We watered it down, we sold the gospel for less, "Gospel for Everyone!" we shout. But Jesus defined who the gospel was truly for, and he detested the proud, shunned the idolaters. We cheapened the product in order for it to be sold to the masses. But when you put the full value on something, and mark it at the price it should cost, and don't cheapen it. You get people that really want it, pay the full price for it, no matter the cost they have set their hearts desires on it.Therefore they won't be at peace, until they have it. Or you get people who want the same product but want it to be cheaper, lessening the true value. Therefore they toss it aside, not knowing if they would've ever payed full price for it, probably not. They are so well fed, they are asleep in the light, as Keith Green would say. The church doesn't know about the darkness of this world, and the misery. Because they don't remember what it COSTS. They don't remember their state of depravity, before they lay hold of the awesome gift that they were willing to pay everything for. They are so well fed, they don't know what it feels like to be hungry. O0O how I wish we were alive! Not back then (as in a time period) to see Jesus. But even now while he is alive more than ever! While he is desperate for laborers, and people that are paying with their blood, sweat, and tears. I wish we were alive to see him now, beloved. But we are in this dead state of complacency, feeding our ego's, self righteousness, and outward adornment too busy with our vain labor to see what God's work could truly be. What it truly is. We have gone about it the way Babylon has, the way the world has, we think we have to lure them in, and make padding for their butts, and tissues for their tears, and ease and comfort for every inconvienance. But it is God's desire that we could suffer with him, partaking in his suffering that love would abound more, and that are evil flesh would die more. To suffer is to let love abound more, because if filth and sin doesn't rise up within us to show us what we're truly made of. If we are not tested and trialed to see our true desire for the Lord. Than how can we realise how poor,wretched, naked, and needy we really are. We must come face to face with the depravity of our souls, by eagerly putting to death our flesh and depriving ourselves. Their is not ANY ONE THING, I would rather have than God. For all is fading and passing away, and the world labors in vain, all seeking vanities,vanities,vanities. But when we come to Christ we cast down our idols, Jesus cannot be conformed into the image of a calf an idol for us to adore. He is an all consuming fire, that we can't stand near unless we are holy. And how can we be holy without the blood of the lamb? and how can we receive the fullness of Grace and the blood of the lamb, without emptying ourselves. Why feed ourselves on his flesh and blood, if we are not hungry? Can he share his flesh with the stomachs of idolaters? Just some thoughts......
