OC February 4th
“Christ’s love controls us.” 2 Corinthians 5:14 NLT
Paul’s life was compelled by the love of Christ. “People could perceive him as mad or sane - he did not care.” He lived to be a witness to Christ. Not of his own circumstances or salvation. “We tend so often to be controlled simply by our own experience.”
This devotional is full of great quotes and Chambers says it better than I can. Is your walk defined by your love of Christ and His love for you and others. That love that compelled Him to offer salvation to you. Are you helping others to find that straight and narrow path? Are you on it?
“This total surrender to the ‘the love of Christ’ is the only thing that will bear fruit in your life.”
That line hits me as I tend to struggle doing things my own way, in my own power. Surrender bears fruit.
