”Brothers and sisters, we taught you how to live in a way that will please God, and you are living that way. Now, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live that way even more.” 1 Thessalonians 4:1 NCV ...live that way even more.I don't know about you but I sometimes have these moments where I feel like I should be doing something more for God. "Hey, God, what's next?" moments. This scripture clearly answers the 'what's next' question. Do what you are already doing and then do it even more.
We're praying? Good, do it even more. We're reading our Bibles? Good, do it even more. We're seeking God's face? Good, do it even more. We're loving our neighbors? God do it even more. I like processes. You complete steps 1-3 and move on to steps 4-6. God's ways are not our ways, His process is simple: Love God, love people. Rinse, repeat, Period! Over and over, even more. Love God. Love People. Love God even more. Love people even more. Even more, even more, even more. I'm not sure if you are able to read the excitement that I am receiving through this revelation of 'even more'. God, when I want to know what is next remind me to repeat the things I am already doing even more. Pray more, read more, seek more. Help me to find peace in these simple things rather than trying to make up new things to pursue you. God, fill my heart with your love and forgiveness so that these things are readily available to others when I cross paths with them. Remind me to pursue you even more. To love others even more. Amen.
