Loving God II

"Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;" Deut 7:9 (KJV translation)

Loving God is easy, very easy indeed. All through life we look for someone we can fully rely on, someone who will guarantee us that they will be there for us no matter what, someone who will accept us just as we are, someone who will stick till the end. We look for promise keepers.
God's attributes are many, we cant possibly exhaust his character! Few of the ones mentioned in the above scripture include:
  • Faithfulness
  • he keeps his covenants, his agreements
  • He is constantly merciful
  • He is constantly Loving
  • He is consistent
Faithfulness: steadfast in affection or allegiance, loyalty. God is faithful!! Steadfast in affection, always loyal to his covenant with his people. This is exactly what we human beings look for! Someone who will stick by us no matter what!!!
Merciful: forgiving, showing compassion. God is very compassionate. He will not overlook your suffering or your heart of repentance. He is moved by these. Many times we meet people we would categorize as mean, or without compassion! Ever found yourself asking yourself, "Why cant this person see that am suffering?" Well, God sees. He is moved.
Isn't this reason enough to trust and fully rely on God. He is exactly what we need, exactly what our hearts crave for. Love in its truest form! We, therefore can love God and obtain the blessings that come with it.

Choose today to enjoy loving God as He loves you!
