So often themes emerge in my life. Sometimes it’s because I’m looking for them but mostly it’s totally unexpected. Like the same verse popping up in different places or people in totally different contexts saying the same thing. This week a theme emerged (again, because it’s the most important one) and it was so simple, something I’ve heard often, but it was spelled out the past few days.
Two things, love God and love people. I tend to make this way more complicated then I need to half the time so it was really encouraging to just go over the basics. Do I love God? Am I delighting in him and him alone? Is he my source of joy? Next, do I love people? Do I serve where needed? Do I care for others? Do I make them feel valued?
Those two questions (Do I love God? Do I love people?) are really important for us to filter our decisions through I think. If we can honestly respond to those then I think then we are headed in the right direction. I don’t know about you but I’m always looking for direction (specific direction) from God but it doesn’t always work that way. He has already told us what to do in His word, I just need to do it! If you’re struggling to know what you should be doing right now then maybe those two questions will help bring some clarity. And I’m thankful for you, yes YOU!
