With My Whole Heart #3

{{ Am I Loving God With My Whole Heart? }}

Q: Are you living in sin and yet glorifying God with your mouth? Are you offering Him lip service but failing to give Him your heart and your life, failing to act in accordance with your words?

 >>>>If you answered "no" to the questions relevant to your life - please share how it is you are managing to do so. How were you able to overcome? What is your testimony? Share anything that has blessed you in this area.

>>>>If you search your heart, and find your answer to be "yes" in any area. Please share. I am positive you are not alone in your struggles and the purpose here is to become better. As you share, you will provoke dialogue that will bless not only yourself, but your sisters as well. Let us get to the HEART of the matter, together, and may GOD be glorified. Let us not deceive ourselves into thinking God's word does not apply to us... Or allow ourselves to justify sin. Let us intentionally and purposefully seek to EVOLVE, to change, to become more like Him - better reflections of Christ. ♥ {James 1:22-25} But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves... he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

 The following scripture(s) speaks to the HEART of the matter (these are just a few; I urge you all to take the time to search the word for yourselves. Look these scriptures up, write them on your heart [commit them to memory], and APPLY them to your life).

 1 John 3:18 // Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

I have been pondering another Christian saying today: "Glory to God"....what does this really mean? We will often state that we give "glory to God" for this, that, or the other but are we just offering Him lip service?

Dictionary.com defines "glory" as....

2. something that is a source of HONOR, fame, or admiration; a distinguished ornament or an object of pride.
3. adoring praise or worshipful thanksgiving.

Matthew 15:8 “‘These people HONOR me with their LIPS, but their HEARTS are far from me.

The real question is, do our hearts and therefore our lives, bring "GLORY to GOD"? It isn't about lip service alone. It isn't about accrediting Him with being the source of these things with our words but professing His greatness with the very lives we live!

Let us not make the mistake of being superficial with God. He knows better anyway and we are hurting ourselves by doing so. Let Him in. It is time to go deeper and truly live what we profess to believe. Let His grace work in you to bring forth the true glory of God in your life! And we will SHINE brighter and brighter ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
