When my zeal for Christ grows weak, LORD take me to Calvary.

If you identify as a Christian but find your zeal for Christ weak at times, you are not alone. I have been there more often than I would like. The cross of Christ should motivate me to live for Him with excitement. I should be eager to follow Him and share the Good News of what He accomplished. However, sometimes I fail to meditate on my friend who died for me. (John 15:13)

How could my appreciation be so fickle for a love that Jesus says cannot be surpassed?

My pride would like to call it a mystery. At least then, I could lessen the sting of my apathy. Yet, it is not a secret. In fact, it is clear, my response to Christ is sometimes flawed because I have not filled my heart with Christ centered thoughts. My appreciation for other things has grown greater than my appreciation for Jesus. It is hard to say that, and I realize how awful it sounds. How could I value anything or anyone more than the one who died for me when I was, without strength, GOD’S enemy, and a sinner? (Romans 5:6-8)

When my zeal for Christ grows weak, LORD take me to Calvary.
