I woke up this morning to talk with God as I do every day. I got in my car and turned on some preparation music. This morning I listened to "Show Me Your Face," by Fred Hammond. I was trying to get to a place where I could talk to God and through faith and hope He would speak back to me. As I was praying I felt a praise develop on my heart and on my mind.
I thanked God for waking me up this morning in my right mind.
I thanked Him for the activity of my limbs.
I thanked Him that all five of my senses were working.
I thanked Him for my future wife. I love her.
I thanked Him for my son. I love him too.
I thanked Him for my friends.
I thanked Him for my parents.
I thanked Him for being God all by himself.
In the midst of all this thanking I thought about the very two principles and commandments that help me keep my faith in the faith and in my walk with Christ: "And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy
neighbour as thyself," (Luke 10:27).
A very powerful tool that we Christians have is the ability to LOVE. And everything and I mean everything is brought together when we LOVE GOD with everything we have and when we LOVE OUR FELLOW MAN as we love ourselves.
So Lord today I tell you publicly that I love you with everything I have. I want to develop a deep and close relationship with You that goes beyond the surface. Teach me how to LOVE you God and show me what I must do to gain Your trust, Your favor, and Your affection towards me.
I love You God so much and I will also work hard to love my enemies, my family, my friends, and all the people around me.
I Love You Lord
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments," Matthew 22:36-40
I Love You Lord
