Good Morning

Good morning!

I have been up for hours. The Lord woke me up around 4ish in the a.m. and has been speaking to me. It's been really good, however, I hope he keeps me up the rest of the day! Craziness. What's he been speaking to me about? Well, that's just for me, but I am encouraged that God can take my failure and redeem it.

I started reading 1Timothy last night and came across this verse:
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,
2
To Timothy, H)">my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at L)">Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to M)">teach strange doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths and endless O)">genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.
5But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
6For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,7wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

A point to ponder:
The primary goal of being a Christian is to love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

So, how do you do that? Well it's done through the administration of God, which is by faith, so you don't have to do anything. All administration is done by God! So it's God's faith in you. The best way to love from a pure heart is to get loved on by the purest heart there is- the heart of God.

Jesus, I want to love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Would you administer to me the faith to step into experiencing a new level of love? I don't want to relate to anyone from any other place.

Thank-you Jesus!
