“... Do you truly love me more than these? ...” - John 21:15

When God created Adam and Eve, He gave them more than they ever needed. He allowed them to eat from every tree and every plant in the garden, except one! They had everything that they could dream of, or desire. There was no need for them to search for more. How amazing! God still does that for us even today; when we confess our sins, repent from our sinful ways. He forgives our sins, lavishes His love on us and calls us His own children. Then He gives us many wonderful promises. He promises us that whatever happens to us will turn out for our good. (Romans 8:28) This is an amazing promise because it means that a Christian need not worry even in the darkest moments of life. It does not mean that a Christian would not encounter bad things, but it means that God would never allow him to be destroyed by the evil, and He will work it out for his good.

We can go on quoting many, many promises in the Bible which say that the Lord is our Provider, Sustainer and Keeper. Having given everything to us who are saved by the blood of Jesus, the Lord expects only one thing from us in return and that is our love. How can we express our love to Him? By obeying His commands. Adam and Eve got everything from the Lord, yet they failed to give Him what He wanted. God did not ask for something that was impossible from Adam and Eve. He only said that they should not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil! But they disobeyed Him in this simple matter.

Dear friends, let us think of all the gifts the Lord has freely given us to enjoy, and let us express our love to Him not only in words but by our deeds – by obeying Him wholeheartedly.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You have given me all good things, more than I could ask or even imagine. You have saved me and filled me with Your Holy Spirit. How can I be ungrateful to You? Help me to love You, have intimate fellowship with You and do whatever You ask me to do. Amen.
