Hello,

T
oday, we're talking about: Loving our Father!
"And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength." NLT, Deuteronomy 6:5
Loving our Father.
We love our Father with everything we are, everything we have. So, therefore, we will to do as our Father wants, for it is in Him we have our ultimate salvation. Keeping His commandments shows our love for Him, 1 John 3:24.
We give our hearts to Him.
Everything good is in God. Things were perfect in the garden before man's fall. Although we now live in a world of destruction because of sin, everything is perfect in our life to come if we are His children. While we're sojourning through this life, we know the "peace that comes by giving all." We are happy to give Him our hearts.
Our choice is a rational choice.
People spend significant sums of money to find out "who they are" and "how can I be happier." Our Father explains all these things in the Bible. We can have peace, or we can have hatred. We can have love or experience no love at all. The choice is ours to make, always. I claim the best life is in God our Father through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Tip: Choose God. It's much better for us.Father, we give our hearts to You. You are so good, kind, and loving. You are sweet to Your children. You invite those who hate You to a loving relationship. Your arms are open to the poor, the humble, and those struggling through life. You, Father, are worthy of praise because You've allowed Your children to be at Your throne. You surround Yourself with all Your children, and we know and see You are a magnificent Father. Glory be to Your name! In Jesus' name, amen!
