Yesterday morning, I just realized how far I would go for my
own comfort. Our bedroom floor is above
the garage and the outside temperature was 28° yesterday morning at 4:30
am! Yikes! So, when I put on my socks, I sat on the bed,
pulled one foot out of the slipper, put a sock on it, and slid the slipper back
on. Then I pulled the other foot out of
the other slipper, put the other sock on it, and slid the other slipper back
on. Then I put my pants on, slippers off
and on, with the same care so as not to touch the cold floor. After I was fully dressed, I put on my
thermal sweatshirt and hat and hurried outside and started the car, making sure
that the temperature was turned all the way to hot and the blower was on turbo. Then I retreated back into the warm house
congratulating myself on how fast I had moved.
Hey, I am so careful with my creature comforts, but am I as careful with
my service to the Lord? Sadly, I think
not. But it’s really quite simple: I John
4:19, “We love him, because he first loved us.”
We love the Lord because of His outrageous love for us first. But are we as passionate in our service to
Him? Think about it.
