Positive Obsession

An obsession is an excessive devotion to someone or something, even to the point of personal loss, injury or death. The word is often applied in a negative sense, but the Bible tells us that Jesus loved and obeyed God to the point of obsession. The word of God counsels us to develop the particular kind of mind that was in Christ Jesus.

Jesus during His earthly ministry loved God and was obedient to His commandments even to the point of death - an excruciating death on the cross. God, therefore, expects all His children to follow Christ's example by loving Him with all our being. If you have ever been so deeply and passionately in love with someone to the point of obsession, you may lose your appetite and forget to eat, your mind may become occupied with nothing else but that person. This kind of positive obsession is hinged on love. Matthew 22:37-38 has this to say: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. We are enjoined to first and foremost love God with all our hearts because we need to have the love of God before we can truly appreciate what love is and then reciprocate by showing love to others. 1 John 4:7-8 As Christians, we must obsessively love God with all our being, and always radiate His love for our neighbours. As Christians, we must obsessively love God with all our being, and always radiate His love for our neighbours. If we love with all our entire being we won't find difficult love our neighbours.
