 JANUARY 2 Our Neglect of God |
PRAYER. O God, You ever call us back to Your service. Help me to keep Your Commandments. |
|
LET each of us reflect upon his own most .
gross and persevering neglect of God at
various seasons of his past life. How
considerate He has been to us! Yet how did
we refuse to come to Him that we might have
life! How did we sin against light.
He shed His Holy Spirit upon us that we might love Him. And "this is the love of God, that we keep His Commandments, and His Commandments are not grievous" (1 In 5:3). Why, then, have they been grievous to us? |
