Our Relationship to God
In Matthew 22:37 Jesus said, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
There are various ways of showing God that we love Him. Our worship and praise can put our love into words said directly to Him. But we should also show our love.
"Now ... listen to what the Lord your God demands of you: Have reverence for the Lord and do all that he commands. Love him, serve him with all your heart, and obey all his laws" Deuteronomy 10:12 13).
"But whoever obeys his word is the one whose love for God has really been made perfect" (I John 2:5). If we want to show our love to God, we will follow the instructions He gives us in His Word.
Another way to show our love to God is by giving and sharing with others. I John 3:17-18 says, "If a rich person sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against his brother, how can he claim that he loves God? My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action."
The love that is obedient and sharing will be a satisfying and rewarding love. Jesus says in Luke 10:28 that if we love God above all else we "will live." Some people think that "real living" is wealth, power, and position. But these things in themselves will never satisfy because we were made in God's likeness and for His glory. Our spirits must be satisfied with the spiritual.
Real living is loving God. Jesus said, "Be concerned above everything else with the Kingdom of God and with what he requires of you, and he will provide you with all these other things" (Matthew 6:33).
Don't limit yourself to the less important things. Love God with all your heart. MEMORY VERSE
My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.
