I really identify with wanting to love Him more and feeling like I'm hardly touching the surface of what that love can look like.

I try to pray as you do each day as I go about my daily routine. It can be hard sometimes, things in life can be so distracting! Especially nowadays!

I want to love the Lord more but I don't feel like I hardly love Him enough at all. I loved the paragraph where you shared how you talked to the Lord throughout the day as you worked and cleaned and did laundry. So do I!! I would love to meet you!!<br /><br />Thanks for linking up with WholeHearted Home.

But I realize my sin and really do desire to have a heart that longs for Him more than it longs for my own personal comfort and gain. But either way, your thoughts are helpful because it is the Spirit who can help me change my wrong desires to the right ones.

When I think about this, I...Love your post Mary! <br /><br />When I think about this, I compare my love with God as when I first fell head over heels in love with Curt - he became my "bestest friend". I couldn't get enough of being with him, wanted to share every single thing with him. Wanted to share every single moment with him. Thought about him constantly, hoped for a chance encounter when not together, always trying to look and be at my best in case we did run into each other. I could not get enough of him. And that head over heels in love with him has only grown, because of the ups and downs, we have traveled through. Just as my head over heels in love with God has grown, who isn't human, who hasn't failed me, who loves me more than I can ever grasp - Can not get enough of Him! debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331079631351713976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708060373541917366.post-65317295810950651782013-04-23T19:56:42.052-07:002013-04-23T19:56:42.052-07:00Pamela, Yes, my friend!

Anne Graham Lotz wrote two books I love, "Just Give Me Jesus" and "Pursuing More of Jesus."

How I know the depravity of one who feels inadequate to touch the hem of His love...yet, attempt to anyway. How I ache to well up in my emptiness, the full embrace of a God whose love has no emptiness, no holes, no shallow places simply void. Yet, you are right friend...we can't. We can't know that kind of God consuming love, apart from grace, separate from the gift, given to us by His Spirit.

We will never fully reach that until we enter Heaven, and the perfection of His glory, but we must strive, removing the dross, anything that does not please Him. So often, our pattern for our lives is seen in another pattern or vessel. Our eyes should be on the Potter, asking Him to make us and use us for His purpose. Submission. And God does use willingness for His glory. Mary, I believe our relationship with the Lord can not be only an hour in the morning, but constant communion and communication throughout the day. Thank you so much for reigning our hearts in from the struggles of life to focus on Truth! PS~ I added your beautiful blog to my sidebar at Composed By Grace.

Psalm 68:18, if I recall correctly, says, "My heart follows hard after thee, your right hand upholds me". I have come to the conclusion that any right thought or feeling towards our Pappa is just our following after His prevenient grace.<br />Blessings <br />MiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765891733244054084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708060373541917366.post-47457194525516088902013-04-22T13:39:41.163-07:002013-04-22T13:39:41.163-07:00I'm not fine where I am and I'm constantly...I'm not fine where I am and I'm constantly struggling with it and I definitely want to LOVE him more and there's a lot of room for expansion. I've been trying to give up things that are unimportant in exchange for more time with devotion, prayer, and studying, and so far it helped. # 1 thing I have given up is Facebook. I spend too much time worrying about what other people are doing rather than my relationship with God. - Work in progress. Loved this post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
