Day 24

Here we....go!

I get the feeling people will be quoting Joker for a long time to come. It's a good thing, in a way. I just hope that it means more people will genuinely be interested in the batman universe rather than just jump on the bandwagon.
So today's random musing is this: How do we show love to God? How do each of you show love to God?
What comes to my mind right away is to show love to God by loving others. Like what the Bible says, if you say you love God yet hate your brother, you don't really love God. But at the same time, it shoudl also put it into perspective that you can't truly love your neighbor if you don't truly love God first. I think loving God would also mean getting to know Him more. If I love a girl, I would do my best to get to know her as best as I can. In the same way, we should do that for God. Just spend time getting to know who He is through His Word and through His creation.
What will it gain a man to get the whole world yet forfeit his soul? It's like many times we don't love God to the point of giving Him everything because we're afraid to give up stuff. Yet the Bible reminds us that if we have to give up the whole world in exchange for our soul, we shoudl do it. So how hard is it to give up that one sin? To give up that 30 minutes for devos? How hard is it to these things when we know we are getting God in return? Isn't it interesting taht we go out of our way to feed the body yet we can easily starve our souls? Prayer, the Word, worship, this is how we feed our souls. We need God to fill us. It's like a guy who is eating garbage instead of food. Our we feeding our souls with leftovers? with garbage? Yet we can get the real food for free, we can really fed to the point of ultimate satisfaction as easily as lifting our hearts up to God.
But don't get me wrong, following God is not easy. It's not a bed of roses, no. Following God is hard, but is it worht it? Yes, cause it's what you were made for. Anyway, more thoughts later.
