Heavenly Father, yesterday at church, I asked the people at the Bible Study table this question: "What are you passionate about and what is the evidence?" It was a really good discussion and everyone had something they were passionate about and gave evidence that illustrated that passion
We had looked at the passage in Your Word about Mary, Lazarus' sister washing Your feet with her tears and expensive perfume, showing her love for You as she dried Your feet with her hair. It came across that Judas' passion was for money, although he claimed the money could have been given to the poor, but we are told: "He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it". Later, Judas betrayed You for thirty pieces of silver
I later asked the question: "What is God passionate about?" And offered the answer: "His creation". The evidence from Your Word: "God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". Given that the earth may not have beliefs, although with You nothing is impossible, it seems likely. You are passionate about us, people. You love us enough to die for us
You told Your people centuries before: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness". In Your love for us, Your passion, You gave up Heaven for us, lived among us, suffered for us and died for us
Lord, may my greatest passion be for You and may there be plenty of evidence to show it
Amen
Songs for today:
God so Loved the World
You're the God who loves me so
Lord I lift Your name on high
As the deer pants for the water
I have loved you with an everlasting love
