Sacrifice

Am I still your first love? 

Am I the fulfilment of all your desires? Or is there something you desire more? This month I’m pointing out the areas where you have desires that are bigger than your desire of Me. I will show you big unhealthy desires, but also where you might start to develop them. Know that those desires are always unfulfilling. They will never give you life because I am the Life. When you notice a desire, check with me if it stands in the way of your desire for Me.

I want our relationship to grow, to not become stale or stagnant. I always desire to know you more and more. Do you have that same desire? Knowing Me is the ultimate goal. I am the infinite God and therefore there is always more of Me for you to get to know.

Check your heart and see if there are any unhealthy desires that replace your desire of Me. Beware, for those desires because I will, eventually, ask you to sacrifice those for Me. If you let the desires to grow too big, the sacrifice will be painful. 

Activation: Ask the Lord if He wants to show you something of who He is that you don’t know about Him yet. Where do you have unhealthy desires? Let the Lord show you what they are and ask Him to fill the void. Give Him permission to take that space.

James 1:15 (NIV)

Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

John 17:3 (NIV)

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
