How Do You Express Your Love to God?

What does the word “love” mean to you?

More importantly, what does “love” mean to you with respect to God, our Father in Heaven?

Do you love God?

As a Christian, I am sure you are shouting, of course “I love God!”

However, those three words have become so cliché, they virtually have no meaning.

How Do You Express Your Love To God?

  • Do you go to church once a week?
  • Attend a Bible study in-between?

What actions do you take in your daily life to show God that you love Him?

While you think about that, I want you to remember our Heavenly Father created all things for His pleasure and enjoyment, (Revelation 4:11). That includes you, that is the meaning of life. He created you to be apart of His Family.

So what does God want from us in return?

  • He wants your love, (Hosea 6:6).
  • He wants you to read His Word and live by it, (John 14:15).
  • His wants you to believe in His Son Jesus Christ, (1 John 3:23).

As God wants you to be apart of His Family, He sacrificed His only Son, His family so that you could have the opportunity at Eternal Life. Never take that for granted.

I want to take a moment and look at the parallels of love in order to put things in perspective.

Love And Our Children

Our Father created us in the flesh and gave us the ability to create children of our own. He did this for a few reasons, one being that we could enjoy our children, raise them, educate them, love them and in return, they would love us.

You see, our relationship with God is exactly the same.

This is one of the reasons why He gave us the ability to have children of our own, so that we could witness first hand the love you could have for a child.

This same scenario is God’s every single day, for every soul on earth. He is our Father, and He loves us all very much. So much so, that He has provided opportunity after opportunity for us to accept His Son as Savior of the world.

I want you to take that in and think about it for a moment.

How would it make you feel:

  • If the only time your child reached out to you, was during the times they were in need…
  • If your child came out of their room once a week to congregate with you…

How would that make you feel?

When you think about it, many Christians only come to our Father when they are in need, and they quickly forget about Him when the times are good. Just like the Israelites did to God. What a disappointment.

How do you think that makes God feel?

Love And Our Marriage

Jesus compared His Coming to a wedding. Naturally, Christ is the Groom, we are His Bride, and He expects us to be a virgin bride, (2 Corinthians 11:2).

When we think about ourselves, we search for years before we find that special someone, the one we wish to marry. When we find that person, we hold them, love them and cherish them. We find out what pleases them and we practice that to the best of our ability each and every day.

Imagine if we put that much effort into impressing our Heavenly Father…

Now imagine the unthinkable…

Your spouse having an affair, or simply only visiting with you once a week.

What kind of marriage would that be, what kind of family would you really have?

It would not be much of a marriage or family would it? 

Set The World Aside, Give Your Love And Time To God

We spend far too much time worrying about ourselves and the things we perceive to be important. We concentrate more on what we see, hear, feel, want or need. The things that are reserved for today, rather than focusing on the spiritual aspect which will last forever.

Think about that…

For those who truly love God and live by His Word, they will live forever in good health with our Father in His Paradise of Peace.

Why would we not want to dedicate more time to the One who provided us with such a grand promise?

1 Corinthians 2
9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

That is love my friends.

How can we even begin to thank our Father for this single promise?

We can start by telling Him we love Him, we can start by showing it in our actions. By reading His Word and talking to Him in prayer. We can show Him by acting like a man or woman of God in our daily life, by teaching our children about His Word and sharing it with those who will listen.

Our take away, is to be more concerned about God’s feelings.

I encourage you to set aside just 10 minutes to read the Bible and show Him how much you care about the Letter He wrote to you.

Now imagine how that will make Him feel.

“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18
