Devotion, the fine word we use to describe and define our most sincere relationships, in particular our relationship with God Almighty. It is, then, necessary that we would define devotion so that we could know either when we possess it or, maybe more so, when we lack it. Thus the purpose of this blog will be a brief look into the concept and the significance of devotion.
In the most basic sense, devotion is the process and knowledge of being devoted. That is, being devoted to someone or something in a relationship that goes beyond simple acquaintance beyond the level of commitment but it is that commitment meeting a desperate and abandoned desire. Devotion, in this sense, is not merely a deeper degree but, rather, a different perspective in regards to those we hold dear. It is about commitment, to be sure. But it is also about passion and depth, focused outward at an external being. In the case of Christianity, this means, quite plainly, God Himself through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Space does not permit for more but I hope this is a helpful start to get you thinking about devotion and its vital importance in our lives.
