Summarizing the top ten rules from the Big Guy, we find the list of relational guidelines in Deuteronomy 5:6-21<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every single one of God\u2019s commandments is about relationships. When God directs us, it\u2019s relationally. Our three primary relationships are with God, others, and ourselves. God\u2019s word is full of how we are to handle those relationships. Surrendering our lives to God means showing affection to a world that desperately needs it. Jesus paved the way with His actions on the cross. He illustrated the lengths God is willing to go to have a relationship with us. When God directs, He directs with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Persevere in love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n God\u2019s love perseveres at all times, good and bad. No matter what our feelings try to tell us, God\u2019s affection for us overrides any lies we believe. Recently, in a Daily Devotion from Rick Warren<\/a>, he talked about forming our lives around lies we believe. For me, I created my life around the lie that I am worthless. Misinterpreting signals as a child led me to the wrong conclusions. Now, as an adult, God\u2019s persevering love is revealing His truth to me and healing me of those lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on which version of the Bible you use, the word \u201clove\u201d appears on average 610 times. Every book in the Bible talks about God\u2019s love in some form or fashion. The thread that ties everything together is love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wherever God is directing you, you can believe, He\u2019s calling you to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Lord, You rock. Your love for us is something our minds have difficulty understanding, but we know You do. Forgive us for not loving well, You, others, or ourselves. In whatever area we\u2019re struggling to show affection, help us do better. Especially with ourselves, Lord, help us truly believe You love us unconditionally. Let love become our calling card in all we do. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question for reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What area do you need God\u2019s help to show His love?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2 minute read.
