Oh How I Love Thee! (#14)

God looks upon us -- “How do I love you? Let me help you count the ways.”

How does God’s love impact our lives? How do we respond to such a love?

We respond best to God’s love by being obedient to His Will.

Jesus said to His disciples:
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” ( John 14:15 ESV)

Do we love God enough to be more concerned with breaking His heart than breaking His commands. Do we try to live in such a way as to not grieve the Spirit of God? If we live in accordance with such a concern, then we have a proper view of the relationship. We reveal our true love for Him and our deep appreciation for His love by seeking to please Him with the actions of our lives.

Have a great day marked by a LOVING DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD!
Carl
