People
will tell you why they love chocolate, or why they love cheese or why they love shopping. Some love certain activities and many are just in love with themselves. We
talk of material things because we have an interest in them. Some talk of their friends because they love them; their joys and their sorrows, their memories and sometimes significant life experiences are bound up with them. Their is a closeness they feel towards them.
Yet we have infinitely greater reason to love God than to love our earthly
friends or anything else for that matter.

Love for God is essential
for life and health. In order to have perfect health our hearts must be filled
with hope and love and joy. On one occasion when Jesus was speaking to a man, He revealed the secret of true happiness to the man: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (Matthew 22:37)
If you have not done so already
or if you have
backslidden toward the world and are now worldly...
you can have a new beginning
with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life right now.
Pray
like this - Father in heaven, I am a sinner and I believe that Jesus Christ
died on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my
Lord and Savior right now and I ask you to give me a new heart. New motives,
new desires and new purposes that will be in harmony with your law of 10 commandments.
I thank you and praise you for the forgiveness of my sins and for causing me to
be born again right now, In Jesus, name, amen.
