I love you, O Lord, my strength.
What does my lifestyle proclaim about what I love? Speaking about love for anything is easy, but the depth of it is apparent from a quick glance at my life. That place where my mind automatically returns to dwell. The pursuit that demands most of my time. The things that I am willing to pour my resources into. It all points towards what I love. All too often, it's pointing to me.
The temptation is to love myself.
My reputation.
My success.
My popularity.
My knowledge.
My comfort.
My happiness.
My fulfillment.
But- I love YOU, O Lord. I don't think that this is the kind of love that can be divided between numerous things. All or nothing. If there is any other love that even comes close to this in our lives, we probably need to do some re-evaluating of what it is we really love and value.
Where is my love? What is my strength?
