Daily Power #65

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lam. 3:22–23)

Once you begin to know God better, you will change. A vibrant and intimate relationship with God will empower you to heal from the hurts from your past, forgive what seems unforgivable, and change what seems unchangeable about yourself. Walking with God will break the power of materialism in your life and lead you to a radically generous life.

Instead of living for yourself and for the moment, you’ll live for Christ and for eternity. Your heart will begin to break for the same things that cause God’s heart to break. You’ll serve him faithfully as part of the body of Christ, the church. The old temptations will lose most of their appeal, and you will be compelled to obey God because of how much you love him, because you know how much he’s done for you.

Instead of living in anxiety and fear, you’ll experience peace, grace, and trust. The more you get to know God, the more you will become excited about sharing your faith with others, and the less concerned you’ll become about fitting in with those around you. Knowing God will make you ache to tell others what he’s doing in your life.

Draw closer to God today. Your life will never be the same.
