Recently a sermon from Pastor Prince really got me thinking. What do we mean when we say we love God? I come to realise that our sense of loving God is because we want something good for ourselves. It’s like the bible saying “Seek first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all things shall be added unto you” Our motivation is not God, not His Righteousness but rather on the “All things” Thë “All Things” that will be added if i seek God and His Righteousness.
But then you come to realise that despite all this selfishness that stems from our heart, God never stopped loving us and granting us Favour. He will never say that our love for Him is too shallow and love us less and only love those who really love Him. King David was a fine example of a man who loved God above himself, despite all the grave sins and mistakes he had committed, God still love him and called him “A Man after my heart” He truly had the heart of love for God despite all his mistakes.
We pray for health, wealth, relationships, our careers, salvation of our unsaved family. Nothing wrong with all these prayers, but let us not forgot to love God first with our heart to ask him like we would ask our parents. Loving God is as good as loving Self. In fact better.
“With everything within me, i want to love you Lord, I want to love You with all that i am and bring joy to Your Heart.”
