Do people know you love Jesus? I think most of us would probably answer yes, which leads me to a follow-up question, how do they know?
If people only know that we love Jesus because we have lots of words, lots of head knowledge that we have shared, but our lives do not reflect that love into the world, well my, friends, we may have missed the point.
In the passages this week from Jeremiah, the people of Israel could talk a whole lot about the Lord - but that doesn't mean that they were living into the covenant. And they certainly weren't living in the way of love of God and love of neighbor.
Sometimes we fall into that trap, too, don't we? We can talk about loving God but we aren't showing it. We have knowledge about love, but it hasn't sunk into our hearts.
What do you think it means to have the love of the Lord written on your heart?
