Why must I love the Lord?

Deu 6:4-5
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD Our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might."


*we have to change ourselves, do not jz wait on the Lord without taking any self action!!!

Reasons why we must love the Lord:

1. The most Reasonable thing to do
- He is our wonderful Creator

- we are wonderfully and fearfully made by Him
- have the ability to do things that other creatures can't do

We were created in His likeness and greatness... With all sorts of emotion and feelings implant in us, so we are able to laugh, cry, angry, smile, run, jump, sit, eat, etc... Isn't He wonderful?

2. The most Profitable thing to do
- ... Seek Me, and you shall find Me...
- Do not find someone (partner) to be satisfied, but be satisfied before you find your life time partner. So, you can share your satisfaction with the other one...

Well, this is the point where I really have to get myself to learn. As human, we tend to search for someone who can satisfy our needs and wants, who's character can fit best to ours... When time goes by, we will come to notice that the person can no longer meet the requirement that we are looking for. Reason is because, human is not perfect.. no one can ever give us whatever we want.. but only the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, we have to learn how to fully rely on God and able to seek and ask HIm to fulfil us before getting into any relationship. Then, we will be able to share the joy and unconditional love with our love ones... What a good lesson to me!

3. The most Visible thing to do
- Others must learned that we love the Lord above everything.. that He is the centre of our joy, the source of strength that we can rely on, the One who loves us even before we were born... etc


Open our hearts, and open our ears that we would be able to see and hear Your guidance and able to appreciate all the blessings that You've given to us. And let us be a blessing to You, too!
