Loving God

Many times, we ask, what it means to love God. The first expression of love towards God is when we surrender our hearts to Him to follow and do His will for our lives. When we do this, we show God He is important for us and we want to know Him. God’s major desire is to have people who love Him with all their heart, mind, and soul, willing to obey Him in all things. To love God is very important to live a victorious life because that is what shows our obedience to Him.

When we surrender to God, we allow Him to transform our lives into His image; and when that happens, He can show His glory through us. And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Deuteronomy 10:12 KJV)

When we truly love God, whatever He ask from us is easier to do because real love is willing to do anything for the loved one. True love does not need encouragement because does it by itself. The person
that really loves God will always try to please Him in all things. There is a precious promise for those who surrender their heart to God: His presence continuously dwelling in their lives, a presence that overwhelms our being. A presence that gives us that abundant life we all want and sometimes we try to find through the things of the world.

When we love God we become His habitation, He becomes part of our being. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (John 14:23 KJV).

His grace helps us fulfill the purpose He has for our lives,without any effort. This grace is that special gift that makes the people sees something different in our lives. This is nothing but His presence dwelling within us. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.(Ephesians 6:24 KJV)

For us, fleshy human beings, highly influenced by a sinful nature is difficult to love God, as He desires. However, if we draw near Him with a humble heart He will help us grow in love towards Him. This love will make our hearts overflow with joy and peace.
