If you love me, you'll obey me

It's been such an eventful year. So many victories some disappointments but through it all so many lessons learned. Today as I pondered on the word of God in 1John 2v1-17,  it says, v5. But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.

I panicked when I saw this because very often, I loose focus but for the Grace of God that restores me again and again. However, I was later comforted with the thought that as long as I keep asking the Holy Spirit for guidance, as long as I keep taking those little steps, as long as I keep praying and asking for help and guidance I will make it.

As a mom, even though I love it when my children tell me they love me and say how great a mom I am, I am more moved, touched and happy when they listen and obey the simple instructions I give to them. So I fully understand how God feels when we obey Him. It is the greatest expression of love.

PRAYER

Dear Father,
you said the entrance of your word gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple (Psalm 119v130) thank you for the light that has come to me today and thank you Dear Father for new understanding.

I humbly ask in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that, Father you help me to obey you, help me recognize your voice so that I yield to your instructions. Teach my heart to delight in your words and your instructions such that obeying you is easy. Guide me oh dear Father for I pray in Jesus precious name. Amen.
