Be rooted in Love!
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,” Ephesians 3:17 (KJV)
Apostle Paul came to a point in his walk with Christ Jesus that the only thing that kept him going was his love for Christ. Despite going through many challenges and opposition, he did not waver because of his love for Christ (2 Corinthians 11:23–33). He exhorts us to be conscious of the dwelling of Christ Jesus in our hearts by faith. Beloved, if we are conscious of this truth, we will not allow anything into our hearts that will destroy our relationship with Him. The second thing is to get ourselves rooted in love. It means we must make the conscious effort to ground ourselves in love through exhibiting love to one another (1 John 4:7). There should not come a time that we become tired of showing love to the brethren, because we are grounded in love. Though this love will be tested severally, God wants to see us pass the test so that He can continually reward us and use us. Praise the Lord! Be love conscious!
Prayer Point: My loving and righteous Father, thank You for blessing me through Your Word today. Please let me be always conscious of the indwelling presence of Christ Jesus in my heart. Never let me be discouraged when people turn down the love I have for them. I pray that showing love to people will become my lifestyle till the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
