Sometimes, we need a reminder concerning the things we already know. You’ve read and studied your Bible and seen the truth, but it’s more than that. You’ve got your mind right; now, work on your heart. We’ve heard it said, to the point of ad nauseam, but I will repeat it once again: our relationship with God is the most important thing for us to cultivate. He created the angels to worship Him and do his bidding, but he made us for a relationship. He gave us our minds, and we can choose whether to worship him or something else. We know this, but as I walked on the beach yesterday, I got a strong impression of God’s heart; it is broken because we don’t love him well. He loves us and is good to us, but sometimes we fail to love Him back. That breaks my heart. We’ve all experienced rejection, and it hurts deeply; imagine how God feels. He pours out His love for us and gets rejected. My heart is crushed when one person rejects me; imagine being rejected by millions. Shore up your relationship with Him. Worship Him in spirit and truth; pour your heart into loving Him. That’s what He truly wants. If you get that right, everything else in your life will fall into place. He is good to those who love Him. He’s coming soon, but let’s love Him well here and now. 

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23-24

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20
