"And you shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength." (Deuteronomy 6:5) I remember a song that was recorded by Clint Black entitled:
"Something That We Do" The most important relationship of our lives, is our relationship with God, our Heavenly Father. And with every relationship, the words of this song recorded by Clint Black apply. It's not enough to just say the words,
"I Love You", but those words need to be backed up by our actions. If we love God, with all of our heart, soul, and strength, than our actions will prove, we mean what we say. Our actions are to contain obedience to God's Word. If we love God, we will be obedient to His Word. There will not be any room for what we feel is best, or to compromise God's Word, in order to please those around us. Loving God, is obeying God, with no hesitation or doubt. Much of the sin we commit, is because we love our own desires, passions, and gratifications. And instead of disciplining our minds, and our bodies, to be in line with the will of God, we choose to give in to our weaknesses, and sin against God. In all of our thoughts, words, and actions, are we showing that our love for God is fervent, and steadfast? Yes, Love is not just in what we say, but in what we do! GP
