(2 Corinthians 5:14)
- So what Compels you?
- Compel... It means "to drive or urge forcefully or irresistibly" (Webster Dictionary)
- What drives you?
- What is the motivating force behind all that you do?
- It is evident in what you have invested your life in?
- What consumes your thoughts and time?
- The amplified puts it this way, "For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us…"
- For Paul, Christ's Love was so great that it was the driving force behind everything He did!
- Christ Love was more than a warm fuzzy feeling or a safety net...
- Christ's Love was so compelling and all consuming that it owned Him.
- He was so "taken back", amazed and overwhelmed by the Love of Christ that it influenced every area of His life.
- It influenced His thoughts, His choices, His desires and His motives.
- You could say, He was a man obsessed... In a good way!
- So how about you? Do you know the Love of Christ this way?
- Are you still amazed by Him and His love?
- Are you still in awe of His Sacrifice like the day when you first believed in Him.
- Are you still amazed at the love, forgiveness and Grace that you have received?
- If Not, then why not?
- Today, take some time to really evaluate your love relationship with Him.
- Fall in love with Jesus all over again...
- Get rid of the stuff in your life that has made your love grow cold.
- Don't focus any longer on your failures, disappointments, struggles, doubts or fears.
- Focus on the Love of Christ and let that compel you...
- Let it "Own you" and propel you forward!
- Have a great Weekend!
