Deuteronomy 6:5 “Love the Lord you God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
TL;DR: Loving God is not complicated. It starts with staying thankful, obeying His commands, and treating Him with the same respect and closeness you would give a loving parent. The question worth sitting with today is simple: how will you love Him?
How do you love God? It is one of those questions that sounds simple on the surface but can stop you in your tracks if you really think about it.
One thing that helps is practicing daily gratitude as a spiritual discipline. When you stay thankful in all things, your heart naturally stays tuned toward God. Gratitude shifts your focus from what is going wrong to who is always with you.
Then there is this, straight from Jesus Himself:
John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.”
Obeying God’s commands as an act of love is not about following a list of rules out of fear. Think about how you loved your parents growing up. You obeyed their rules, communicated with them, and showed them respect, not because you had to, but because you cared about the relationship. Deepening your relationship with God as your Heavenly Father works the same way.
He is your Heavenly Father. He wants that same closeness, that same communication, that same heart-level connection with you.
So here is the question worth carrying with you today: how will you love God with all your heart, soul, and strength right now, in the ordinary moments of your day?
