Same as yesterday and everyday. To praise and glorify God? To do great things in service to God? To pray for others? Give sacrificially to those in need? Taking a bold stand for Christ? Well, it depends. Is God being loved very intentionally and intimately as we do whatever we are doing. Do our voices reach his heart saying "Jesus, I do this in love to you. Be the very first recipient of this very moment of my life" as we are doing everything we do each day of our lives. Walking in the presence and fellowship with his Spirit brings this opportunity to a place of reality for us.
Jesus says in Matthew "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment" and Paul says in I Corinthians "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing."
What empowers us to love God in every detail of our lives? That he has captured our hearts as he has enlightened our hearts very personally with his love for us. He has blessed my heart very personally and intimately with his voice of love. "So now I say to you Jesus, I love you, feel loved this very moment and be blessed by my heart that you have won by your great love for me".
