Do you love God?

In Deuteronomy 6:5 We are told ,"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." Do you love God or does someone or something take your love, the love that you should have for God. All my life since the age of seven I have tried to love God, but I had a problem which got in the way. I have only in recent years realized what this problem was. I have been worshipping people in my life. At school I would get a crush on the teachers, but this carried on into adult life. I would fall madly in love with the doctor or the pastor. This was a terrible affliction which I enjoyed, not realizing that I was worshipping these people. Eventually one of these crushes led to the break down of my marriage. Fairly recently God showed me the true nature of these crushes, I was giving His rightful worship to humans. I repented and have been released from this problem. Do you "worship the ground" someone walks on. Beware you are not giving God the right place in your life.Even your love for your husband or wife could be wrong if it is greater than your love for God. Similarly with your children. Look carefully at your life and make sure God is at the centre of it.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
