Midnight Musings

It’s often said that Christianity is different than any other religion because Christianity is not really a religion as much as it is a relationship.

God created people to have a relationship with Him, and when we sinned, the relationship was broken.  That didn’t stop God from wanting that relationship, it just meant that it would take a perfect sacrifice to make it possible again.

If God is a part of your life, then you have to ask yourself, how much of my life is His?  You see, He will not rest until He makes you into the image of His dear Son.  He wants to be the Lord of your life.

That means that there are two different people that are fighting over your heart—you and God.  I think you know who will win!

When you ask the question, “Do You Love Me?” you immediately realize that this is a question directed at the heart.  What you may not realize is that it’s always been about the heart—from the beginning of time.

John 21 is an interesting passage.  There’s some debate as to when it takes place, but the meaning is powerful.

Jesus talks with Peter, alone, after he had denied the Lord three times.  And we find Jesus asking Peter three times if he loves Him.

We know that the word for “Love” changes in each request—going from unconditional love to friendship love.

The question that I have is this—if Jesus were to ask us that question, how would we answer?  If He looked in our heart, what would He see?

Journey with me as we look over the next posts about where our heart is and it needs to be.

The patience of Job is something of legend.  The stage is set in Job 1, where Satan approaches God to talk about the people down on Earth and God directs his attention to Job.

Satan is quick to tell God that the reason that Job worships him is because God has richly blessed him:

• Family (7 sons and 3 daughters)
• He had much cattle

So God decides that to show Satan just how great his servant is, he will let Satan take away all of his possessions.
