Psalm 63:3  “Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.”
 
It’s easy to live our lives calling ourselves Christians, but forget about who we truly are.  We were born to be loved by God and to love Him back.  His love is powerful, passionate, and persistent. It is the kind of love that our souls really yearn for.  Yet, it’s so common for us to forget how great his love is, and thus, we attempt to satisfy our souls with other things.  This leads us away from the relationship that we need most.  Perhaps the best way to know how to share in God’s love here on earth is to remind ourselves of what God says about Heaven.

 
Heaven is the place where believers will come to experience the perfect fullness of God’s love.  There will be no obstacles or distractions powerful enough to keep us from sharing that with Him and each other.  The book of Revelation says that He will be our temple and our light.  He will freely share his blessings with us, and we will return that love back to Him, unhindered.

 
If we can’t fully experience those things on earth, we can continue to strive for the same kind of love-relationship with God.  The secret seems to be our acceptance that his love IS better than life.  Bible heroes like David, Moses and Paul understood that God’s love was better than the things they saw around them, or even the people that they loved. Each one put his life on the line so that he would continue to live in God’s amazing love.  How could they make such sacrifices without constantly reminding themselves that a loving God existed who promised things too wonderful to comprehend?

 
Lord, may I not forget that your love is better than life, and may my actions reflect obedience to you and glorify you.
