Loving God is the greatest thing you can do.
When we respond to God's help and ask Him to save us and realize that God does just that-even though we don't deserve it-we can have a variety of emotions:gratitude,relief, amazement,and joy.But the greatest emotion-and the only one God asks us to have in response to His love and grace-is love.
We should be thankful and joyful in our christian lives,but those emotions aren't that hard to come by when we see God working in the small stuff of our lives.Loving God however,takes effort and sacrifice.It doesn't flow naturally.That's why God commands us to do it.
This isn't emotional love,but love that understands and truly wants the best for the God, you give your best to God.You consciously and willfully love God with all that is in you.
"And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart,all your soul,and all your strength".
DEUTERONOMY 6:5
