no longer uncommitted...

Hosea 6: 6 I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.

all of us are on this 'love walk' that God has put in our lives... it is easy for me to say that not everyone is on the same walk.. not everyone seems to be led to love at all times.. it is easy to say because not everyone lives as if they have ever heard that message... I myself only heard this message from God over the past few years.. but is that the truth? or do we ALL have the same call which is to love like Christ loved.. but maybe we refuse that message...

1 “Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds. 2 In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence. 3 Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”
4 “O Israel and Judah, what should I do with you?” asks the Lord. “For your love vanishes like the morning mist and disappears like dew in the sunlight. 5 I sent my prophets to cut you to pieces— to slaughter you with my words, with judgments as inescapable as light. 6 I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings. 7 But like Adam, you broke my covenant and betrayed my trust.

this is really a description of my life with God in the past... I would walk away from Him.. searching for what I thought would fulfill me.. then I would be broken down.. repent and come back to Him.. and He would fix everything.. then slowly I would ease back into searching for something else... I truly had broken His covenant and His trust...

I am so thankful that this is no longer my relationship with God... that now I do really know Him.. really seek Him above all other things.. I have learned that nothing and no one can satisfy my soul like God does... that nothing can give me peace like Him.. I can have relationships or belongings and they can bring pleasure for a moment.. but at some point.. that fades.. and again.. the thing I really seek is God... He is my whole being... I am completely committed to Him...
God wants to love us.. He wants us to know Him... that is a great thing too.. that the God of the Universe would love me and want me to know Him and He feels the same way about each of us...
