That’s Why I Have A Hard Time Loving

Scripture: 1 Timothy 1 [5] The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.:

Observation: I do try to love others And Jesus commands, but I have a very difficult time doing it. This scripture sheds some light on why I do. I don’t have a pure heart even though it is purer after Jesus came into my life, I still have problems with my conscience and my faith is less then sincere at times. I know these are things I need to work on and I’ll be working on them till the day I go home to the Lord.

Application: I need to always remember the love my Lord has for me. Even when I was a sinner God loved me and wanted me to draw close to Him. There was nothing about me to love yet God found it in His heart to show me mercy and draw me close to Him. It’s my turn to look at others as God looked at me with a loving heart, no judgments, and a love that can only come from God.

Prayer: Dear Father give me a loving heart and sincere motives to love those you put in my path. Touch my conscience so I know when I stray and not obedient to you. Increase my faith that there will never be a doubt of how much I love you and care for others.
