Devotion=a series of religious duties to add to an already over-committed schedule.
No wonder we are so unlikely to stick with them if we even attempt to do them at all. Aren't we busy enough? Why would we be interested in being busier? What would we drop? Here is the thing: What are we busy doing? Are we busy serving ourselves? Or are we busy doing good to all people?
What if devotion is a head-over-heals, white-hot love of God? A pursued relationship of intentional lifestyle! And what if that white-hot flame strips me of selfishness, and creates in me a pure heart? Would this pure heart lead me to joyfully do good?
Romans 13:8-10
