Do you have any foods that you could eat until you almost burst? I have two; one is sweet, a hot fudge sundae and the other is salty, chips and salsa.
If I didn’t restrain myself I would gorge on these two indulgences. I just can’t get enough!
I’m sharing this, now very public, weakness with all of you because my dreams last night were inundated with delicious images of hot fudge sundaes. When I awaken one of my first thoughts was where is the closest Dairy Queen.
I know, she says tongue in cheek, that none of the rest of you experience these types of battles but just in case you do I’ll give you this piece of advice – resist temptation!
I have one other indulgence that you need to know about. This one I don’t try to resist, this one I give in to and let it fill my thoughts constantly.
“I pray that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. I pray that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. 18 And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love—how wide, how long, how high, and how deep that love is. 19 Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with everything God has for you.” Ephesians 3:17-19 ERV
I can’t get enough of God’s love!
Daily, I am reminded of His great love for me. It is unconditional. He loves me as much when I behaved horribly as He does when I am serving Him with all my heart. He extends His hand of mercy and grace. He will not reject me because His love never fails.
I will repeat, I can’t get enough of God’s love!
“Very few people will die to save the life of someone else, even if it is for a good person. Someone might be willing to die for an especially good person. 8 But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us.
9 We have been made right with God by the blood sacrifice of Christ. So through Christ we will surely be saved from God’s anger. 10 I mean that while we were God’s enemies, he made friends with us through his Son’s death. And the fact that we are now God’s friends makes it even more certain that he will save us through his Son’s life.” Romans 7-10 ERV
God’s love is deeper than we can comprehend, wider than the vast Milky Way but it is personal to each and everyone of us.
Let me close with these song lyrics written by Leeland Mooring, “Where You Are:“
I can’t get enough
No I can’t get enough
Of Your amazing love
I can’t get enough
I can’t walk away
No I can’t walk away
For I have seen Your face
And I can’t walk away
And I just wanna be where You are
I just wanna be near Your heart
There is nothing like Your love
There is nothing like Your love
Experiencing the love of God is one indulgence that I won’t walk away from.
I just can’t get enough! How about you?
