I just dropped our youngest son at football practice (yes on the Labor Day holiday) and as I returned home, I turned on the radio. There was a song playing that seemed familiar but, as is the case with me much of the time, I had not really listened to the words.
The song was More Like Falling In Love by Jason Gray. One of the verses says, “Cause all religion ever made me was just a sinner with a stone tied to my feet, it never set me free.” Then the chorus says this, “More like falling in love than something to believe in, more like losing my heart than giving my allegiance.”
Those words really hit home. I am not sure that my faith hasn’t become more of a belief system than a love affair. One of my strong suits is loyalty and allegiance, but if that is all my relationship with Jesus is now days, then something has to change. I know that Jesus wants more! He died for you and me out of love, surely he deserves more from me than allegiance. He desires a passionate relationship.
My prayer for you and myself today is this: Jesus, I don’t want just something to believe in I want to fall in love with you all over again. Give me the desire and drive to know you more fully and love you more deeply than ever before! Amen
I challenge you to make that your prayer today.
