Why is it so hard for us to love a perfect, holy, loving, wise, strong, forgiving, faithful God? I even find it hard sometimes to really feeeeeel like I LOVE God. Now, don't get me wrong, I've loved my God since the day I came to know him and I will continue to love him for eternity, but sometimes it's hard for me to feel like I love God. I'm hoping that makes sense...I'm not too sure how to explain it like it is in my head. But anyways, if it is so hard for us to love a God that great, why does it often seem easier to love those who lie, cheat, steal, those who are weak, unforgiving, an unfaithful? It seriously does not make sense to me. It seems like it would be so much easier to passionately love someone as awesome as God instead of a repetitive sinner like you or me.
God calls us to love others. But he also tells us to love HIM. He actually even tells us to live him FIRST, and THEN our neighbor. Without loving God, how are we suppose to love others? There is no reason for us not to love him while there are plenty of reasons for us to find it hard loving others. Our love for God is reflected by how we love others. Once you begin to love God with all your heart and to follow him passionalty, there will be a change in your life. A change in how you treat people and a change in the way you think about them. Strive to love God first, and the rest will follow.
