1 John 2:15 urges us, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." That makes it very plain and simple. There are no two ways about it. We cannot give even one part of our heart to loving the world. God requires everything of us. To truly serve God, we must wholeheartedly give our lives to God's service. If we have mixed loyalties, then we do not truly love God. It's that simple.
Lord, help me to completely love You. Help me to banish the love of the world from my life. Help me to be completely loyal to you all the time. Give me the strength to resist temptation. Help me to live for you always without reservation and without question.
(if this is a little incoherent, I wrote it at 3 AM.)
