What is the strangest thing you were ever dared to do?
I thought this was an interesting question considering the topic for this week. But the more I thought about....it made sense. Don't we often "accept" a dare to prove something? To be accepted? To show love? I am scared to death of heights....seriously. I remember as a teenager, my best friend had pool.....and the garage was about 15 feet from it. You know where this is going.... Yes....we ran off the roof of the garage and jumped into the pool. Did I want to do this? Of course not! But EVERYONE was doing it and I didn't want to look like the chicken I was. Boy....am I glad I've grown out of that stage in life!!
How did God show His love for us? Romans 5:8....He demonstrated His love for us....while we were still sinners.....He died for us! God tells us that we are to show our love for Him by keeping His commandments....by loving Him (I John 5:3).
Love and Obedience truly go hand in hand. Because I love the Lord, I want to keep His commandments......I want to be obedient. Isn't it interesting.....when we truly love God and are seeking after Him, sin doesn't sound "fun" anymore.
There was a song I used to sing as a child in Sunday School.....I couldn't help but sing it as I wrote this. O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E......Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe. Isn't it the truth?
