The Lord asked you to love Him with your mind and it will be impossible to do so if your mind wanders and is doubtful.
Are you serving the Lord? If so, check your motive. Make sure your desire is to please the Lord and not men.
In Ezekiel 13, the Lord begins to deal with the building of a wall. Whether this is a literal wall or an application to the wickedness of the prophets, there is much here for the believer to learn.
John is writing to the “elect lady” who has seemingly erred on the side of love and needs to give more heed to the truth.
consider the One who loved you so much that He gave Himself for you. He deserves your love. Give it to Him and give it to Him undivided.
