Love Bate

Luke 7:47 – “I tell you, her sins - and they are many – have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love.”
*
I so easily forget this as being one of the primary reasons that I need to show the Lord my love. I so often get caught up in the experience and equating that with loving the Lord, but the truth is that this lady had an experience with the Lord like none other and it was based on the realization of how much she had been forgiven. I am always trying to conjure up feelings of Love for the Lord but recalling this, my forgiveness 13 years ago and the forgiveness that happens daily, is something I rarely do. Living and loving in that way is the aim of my prayer today.
*
Lord, my prayer is that you remind me of how much you changed everything in my life. Today I ask specifically that you would help me to recall how much sin I had in my life before I met you, and how much sin has been forgotten by you since you have been the Lord of my life. I should be desperately in love with you for this very reason. My prayer is that tonight and whenever I am feeling not as intimate as I would like with you, that you would remind me of what sin you have freed me and forgiven me from. This will send my heart burning after you, where it is supposed to be.
