Loving our Lord with everything we have is a deepening process. Loving Him is far more than information gathering and far more than feeling good about ourselves. We can accumulate a prideful arrogance about what we know, with little humility before Jesus. I can develop a self absorbed one up attitude that is judgmental and divisive. I need His infusion everyday, reflecting on my weakness and sin, repenting, purifying my love in full naked vulnerability. I need to verbalize my hurts, weakness, half hearted attitude, and judgmental cynicism to Him afresh. With open hands and open heart, I want to seek His kingdom first. May that be for you as well, Nick.
