I love God. I know that and so does He. I don't think I say to people," I love God" enough. I realized this when I spoke with two members of the congregation yesterday. It was after Sunday School. The lesson was about being Holy. The teacher asked, "What motivates you to be holy?" He answered, "Personally what motivates me, is that I want to please God." Someone else replied that they want to be holy because they want God to know He is appreciated.
I thought to myself., "I want to be holy (separated for Christ) because I just plain out love Him. I want to be with Him. I want to walk with Him, live for Him, talk to him,etc.
After the lesson we spoke in the church "cafeteria" about why we are holy and one brother said, "It all boils down to love. The Lord says, " ...You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment." He was quoting Matthew 22:37. He went on to say if you love the Lord you will be holy.
At that point. I forgot where I was. I looked away from Him and, seriously as we walked up to the sanctuary, I dreamily said, "I Love God." I said it out loud. I don't think I ever said it that way to anyone before. I said it with the deepest , most genuine sincerity and meant it with every fiber of my being.
I want to walk with God. I want to be in a constant communion with Him just because He is so wonderful. He is so merciful. His loving kindness is everlasting and His mercy endures forever. He is always faithful and I want to walk with Him because He will show me the way.
He created me for Him and I want to live for Him. Simple? No? If anyone of us thinks this isn't so simple, well, then WE should question what is distracting us from a constant communion/walk with God, cause, NOTHING should be getting in our way from walking with Him, ALL the time 24/7. Nothing, unless we allow it to.
