Having trouble “feeling” the stirring love of our Savior?

Sometimes feelings evade us. A long-lived faith will undoubtedly experience dry times. 

Of course, our journey with Jesus is so much bigger than a feeling. 

But like any love relationship, we can do our part;

we can fan the flame. 

So if you find yourself in the desert place today—

If you’re lacking desire—

If you’re living faith as a discipline—

1. Do your part by keeping His Word before you. 

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”

(Psalm 119:103.)

2. Do your part by chasing what lasts.

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33.)

3. Do your part by talking to God throughout the day. 

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.)

4. Do your part by seeing people as image bearers of our Lord. 

“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27.)

5. Do your part by being Jesus to others.

“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35.)

The Lord has a gracious way of meeting us here and bringing us along.
