I love the Lord-- or so I say..... When push comes to shove, do I choose the Lord or do I choose something that is much more familiar and much easier to go with? Do I choose to give up everything or do I choose to hold onto my own heart? Do I choose to lay down my life completely or do I choose to to protect it, fight for my own rights and defend myself at whatever cost? Do I choose to turn the other cheek?- give my tunic too?- go the second mile? Or do I only love those that are being easy to love? Even the pagans do that!
I have loved the Lord- but only because He first loved me. I have chosen the Lord- but only because He first chose me. I have laid down everything to follow Him- but only because He laid down everything to take hold of me.
I love the Lord--or so I say.... I do not want my lips to say one thing but heart to be far from it. I want to prove with everything that is in me that I LOVE THE LORD. If I call Him Lord then I submit to Him as Lord and I trust Him completely as Lord. He is Lord- He is my Lord- He is THE Lord.
No room for anything else-- I love the Lord
Amen Kelly. I agree with you.
