And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
The lack of spirituality, in my opinion, is because of a lack of love, sacrifice, and genuine caring for others. Often, we're too busy for commitment. We're too busy to take the time to help others or listen to their needs and concerns. I am saying "we" including myself.
Help me not to lose my commitment and first love for Jesus Christ. I want to keep that desire and love for Him always in my heart. |
What a refreshing word. Its good to read something other than "Psst...did you hear about....? Its good to just share in the Word together.
