Imagine claiming that you love your sweatheart but you don't spend any time reading his/her letters to you or talking with him/her?
How do YOU love God?
Not only have we not given thought to this commandment, we have not obeyed it.
1 John 3:13 "Dear children, let us not love with words or tonge but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hears at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything."
1 John 4: 12 "No on has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."
I love this "Whoever lives in LOVE lives in God."
To love God means to want to be with Him, isn't that was Psalm 84 is about? A plea to live in the presence of God.
Wow, I really love those simple truths that are sometimes hard to live out. If we love God we will spend time with Him. How our world would be different if all Christians truely spent time hearing from God and spennding time reading the bible.
