Falling in Love Again (Guest Post)

This morning I was awakened early after only a few hours of sleep. I felt the need to pray for someone I know who I love to pieces, but who is floundering in her faith. What the Lord prompted me to pray is that He would become the "pearl of great price" in her life. That she would fall in love with her Savior.

I pray that for myself and for all of us. Anything this world has to offer is worthless compared to what we have in and from our Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Why I cling to anyone or anything else is insanity and yet I do. Father forgive me.

Since I was up I drove to Seaside Park and watched the sunrise. It was gorgeous. And as an added bonus I found lots of sea glass and small pretty shells. He loves us so very much.

Today I read 1 Timothy 3 and 4. The verse that spoke to my heart was 4:14-16..."Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things: give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you."

How many times have I become complacent/compromised my "living out" what I believe. Someone is always watching or listening to us. I MUST give more and more of my time to prayer and reading and meditating on His Word so I can make a positive impact, no matter how small, in the sphere of influence He has placed me in.
